Measuring Current (DT4252, DT4253)

3.9

Measuring Current (DT4252,
DT4253)

DC/AC is measured.

DANGER

•

Do not input any voltage to the current
measurement terminals.
Doing so may result in short circuit accidents.

•

To avoid electrical accidents, turn off the power to
the circuit before measuring and then connect the
test leads.

Measuring DC/AC

Function

•

Selected to measure 600.0

A DC or less. (DT4253)

•

Selected to measure 60.00 mA DC or less. (DT4253)
The % conversion of 4-20 mA can be checked in the sub display.

•

Selected to measure 10 A DC/AC or less. (DT4252)

When measuring an unknown current

Set to the high range (mA for the DT4253).
