5-6-2 Current Measurement: µA, mA
DCµA, mA: Maximum rating input value 500mADC
ACµA, mA: Maximum rating input value 500mAAC
(AC+DC) µA, mA: Maximum rating input value 500mA AC/DC
1) Applications
DCA: Current in batteries and DC circuits is measured.
ACA: Current in AC circuits is measured.
(AC+DC)A: Current in AC com DC component is measured.
2) Measuring ranges
4 ranges for 5000.0µA/500.00µA and 50.000mA/500.00mA
3) Measurement procedure
Connect the plug of black test lead to COM measuring input
terminal and plug of red test lead to µA/mA measuring
terminal.
Set the function switch at 'µA' or 'mA' and select either ' ',
' ' and ' ' with the "
SELECT " button.
In the circuit to measure and apply the red and black test
pins in series with load.
For measurement of µA and mA, apply the black test pin
to the negative potential side of the circuit to measure and
the red test pin to the positive potential side in series with
load.
For measurement of µA and mA, apply the red and black
test pins to the circuit to measure in series with load.
For measurement of (AC+DC) µA and mA, apply the red
and black test pins to the circuit to measure in series with
load.
Apply the red and black test pins to the circuit to measure.
In DcmA function, press and hold "
%4-20mA " button for 1
second or more to display the current digital data in terms of
loop current percentage (%) value.
Read the value on the display.
After measurement, remove the red and black test pins from
the circuit measured.
