1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative
(
COM
) jack.
2.
For current measurements up to 6000
µ
A DC, set the
function dial to the
µ
A
position and insert the red test
lead into the positive
A
jack.
3. For current measurements up to 600mA DC, set the
function dial to the
mA
range and insert the red test lead
into the positive
mA
jack.
4. For current measurements up to 10A DC, set the
function dial to the
10A
position and insert the red test
lead into the
10A
jack.
5. Press the
MODE
button until the
DC
icon appears on the
left side of the display.
6. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up
the circuit at the point where you wish to measure
current.
7. 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.
8. Apply power to the circuit.
9. Read the current value on the display. The display will
indicate the proper decimal point, value and symbol.
AC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC
current on any circuit where voltage exceeds 250V AC.
CAUTION:
Do not make current measurements on the
10A scale for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30
seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test
leads.
