Voltage Measurement
Do not measure circuits that may contain voltages > 600 VDC or
> 600 VAC
Use extreme caution when measuring voltages higher than 60 VDC
or 30 VAC rms.
Always place your fingers behind the protective edges of the test
probes while measuring!
1.
Connect the red test lead to the
“
V
”
jack and the black lead to the
“
COM
”
jack.
2.
Connect the test leads to the source being measured.
3.
Read the voltage value on the LCD display.

Current Measurement
Do not measure circuits that may contain voltages > 600 VDC or
> 600 VAC
Use extreme caution when measuring voltages higher than 60 VDC
or 30 VAC rms.
Always place your fingers behind the protective edges of the test
probes while measuring!
1.
Connect the red test lead to the
“
mA
”
jack and the black test lead to
the
“
COM
”
jack (switch the red lead to the "15A" jack for
measurements between 200 mA and 15 A).
2.
Press “SELECT” to select the AC or DC measurement
.
3.
Open the circuit in which the current is to be measured and connect
the test leads to the circuit
IN SERIES
.
4.
Read the current value on the LCD display
