Technical characteristics of the MX 5006 (continued)

 

AC and DC current 

Warning

: the sum AC+DC must never exceed the range, 600mA, or 60mA, or 

6000µA, or 6A, or 10A, as the case may be. 
The AC component must represent at least 5% of the amplitude of the AC+DC total 
for it to be possible to measure it.
