AC/DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
CAUTION:
Do not make 10A current measurements for longer
than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to
the meter and/or the test leads.
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative
COM
jack.
2. For current measurements up to 4000µA AC/DC, set the function
switch to the
µA
position and insert the red test lead banana plug
into the
µA/mA
jack,press mode button
to select AC or DC.
3. For current measurements up to 400mA DC, set the function
switch to the
mA
position and insert the red test lead banana plug
into the
µA/mA
jack ,press mode button to select AC or DC.
4. For current measurements up to 10A DC, set the function switch
to the
10A
position and insert the red test lead banana plug into
the
10A
jack, press mode button to select AC or DC.
5. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the
circuit at the point where you wish to measure current.
6. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit.
Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.
7. Apply power to the circuit.
8. Read the current in the display.
