6. AC CURRENT MEASUREMENT
WARNING
: Ensure that the test leads are
disconnected from the meter before making
current measurements.
1. Set the function switch to or or
range position, and make sure that the
current under test does not exceed the upper
limit of the measuring range you have
selected.
2. Press the trigger to open up the transformer
jaws and clamp around the single conductor
under test.
3. Read the display.
Note: • During current measurements keep the
transformer jaws fully closed, otherwise
this will affect the accuracy of the
measurement.
• When large currents the transformer
jaws may buzz. This is not a fault and
does not affect the accuracy of the
reading.
