TEST EQUIPMENT RISK ASSESSMENT (UK RECOMMENDATION)
Users of this equipment and/or their employers are reminded that Health and Safety Legislation require them to
carry out valid risk assessments of all electrical work so as to identify potential sources of electrical danger and risk
of electrical injury such as from inadvertent short circuits. Where the assessments show that the risk is significant
then the use of fused test leads constructed in accordance with the HSE guidance note GS38 “Electrical Test
Equipment for use by Electricians” should be used.
NOTE : Particularly on the 300mV range the display may fluctuate even with no test leads connected. If this hap-
pens and you suspect the readings shown on the display are not correct, short the "V-
è
- " and the "COM" input
terminal together and check that the meter shows a reading of "0".
3.3 Measuring current (µA, mA and A)
1. Plug the red lead into the "µA mA" or the 10A input terminal and the black lead into the "COM" input terminal .
2. Turn the function switch to "µA", "mA" or "A".
3. A.c. currents can be measured by pressing the "AC/DC" button.
4. Apply the probes to the circuit to the measured.
