Testing DC / AC Current:
1. Remove covers from test probe tips, insert black test lead into COM socket (
J
) and
red test lead into µAmA Milliamps socket (
H
). If the current to be measured is between
326mA and 10A, connect the red test lead to the 10A socket (
G
) instead.
2. Set the Function / Range rotary switch (
F
) to the µA≈, mA≈, or 10A≈ position, press the
function/ selection button (
D
) to select DC or AC (DC or AC symbol will be displayed).
3. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at the point where you
intend to measure current.
4. Connect test leads in series with the circuit.
5. Apply power to the circuit and read the display.
(
Caution
: Risk of electric shock.
Do not
measure AC current on any circuit where voltage
exceeds 250V AC. Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for longer than 10
seconds in 15 minute intervals.
If the magnitude of the current to be measured is unknown, select the highest range and
then reduce it range by range, until a satisfactory resolution is obtained).
Testing Resistance:
1. Remove covers from test probe tips, insert black test lead into COM socket (
J
) and red
test lead into VΩ RPM (Multifunction) socket (
I
).
2. Set the Function / Range rotary switch (
F
) to the Ω position. The polarity of the red test
lead is positive. The display shows OL.
3. Touch the test probes across the circuit or component under test. Components should
be disconnected from their circuit so that the circuit does not interfere with the resistance
reading.
(
Caution
: Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all
capacitors before taking any resistance measurements, If applicable, remove any batteries).
Testing a Diode:
1. Remove covers from test probe tips, insert black test lead into COM socket (
J
) and red
test lead into VΩ RPM (Multifunction) socket (
I
).
2. Set the Function / Range rotary switch (
F
) to the Ω position, press the function/ selection
button (
D
) to display the diode symbol . The polarity of the red test lead is positive.
3. Connect the test leads across the diode - red lead to the positive pole (anode) of the
diode, black to the negative pole (cathode).
4. Read the forward voltage on the display. The multimeter will show the forward voltage
drop between the two test leads. If the diode is reversed, the display shows OL. If both
readings display OL, the device has gone open circuit.
(
Caution
: Risk of electric shock. Do not test a diode that has voltage on it).
