[13]  MEASURING OF DC CURRENT (fixed range)

Measurement of 0 

〜

±

300mA(0 

〜

±

3A)

To prevent damage to the tester and personal injury, do not
measure current when the voltage exceeds 

±

600V.

After preparation described in [8]  PREPARATION FOR
MEASUREMENT has been completed, measure current as follows.

1. Connect the black plug of the test lead to the measurement

terminal(-COM) and the red plug to (     ).

(For measurement of 0 

〜

±

3A, connect the red plug to the

special measurement terminal for 3A     .)

2. Turn the function switch to

mA/3A     

.

3. Apply the test pins to an object.
4. Read the value as indicated on the range display. This is the

current you have measured.

(If the polarity display LED lights, it indicates that the + potential

is applied to the measurement terminal (-COM) and -potential
to the (     ).)

5. After measurement, release the test pins from the object.
6. Return the function switch to

POWER OFF

.

Current measuring circuit 

(for both AC and DC):

For measurement of current, connect the tester in series with an
object to measure as shown below.

Never make this
dangerous circuit.
