Measuring AC Amperage
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to make a current measurement with
the test leads. The EEDM575D measures the current by
clamping the jaw around one conductor (wire).
Clamping around more than one wire will result in
erroneous readings. Make sure the temperature probe
is NOT plugged in during this test.

Measurement Procedure:
1.
Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2.
Set rotary switch to function.
3.
Clamp the jaws around one conductor of the circuit
to be measured. For best results, center the wire in
the jaw.
4.
Reconnect power to circuit to be measured.
5.
Read the current on the EEDM575D.
