c. Measuring DC Amps
CAUTION
Do not attempt to make a current measurement with the
test leads connected in parallel with the circuit to be
tested. Test leads must be connected in series with the
circuit.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to make a current measurement of circuits
with more than 600V(1000V-Only 194) present. Instrument
damage and/or personal injury may result.

Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2. Plug black test lead into the
COM
input jack.
3. Plug red test lead into the
or
input jack
depending on the value of current to be measured.
4. Set the rotary switch to the
or
function.
5. Connect the test leads in series to the circuit to be
measured.
6. Reconnect power to circuit to be measured.
7. Read the current on the LCD.
b. Measuring AC Volts
CAUTION
Do not attempt to make a voltage measurement if a test
lead is plugged in the A or umA input jack. Instrument
damage and/or personal injury may result.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to make a voltage measurement of more
than 750V(1000V-Only 194) or of a voltage level than is
unknown.
