3. For  current  measurements  up  to 

10A DC, set the function switch to 
the  10A  range  and  insert  the  red 
test  lead  banana  plug  into  the 
(10A) jack. 

4. Remove  power  from  the  circuit 

under  test,  then  open  up  the 
circuit at the point where you wish 
to measure current. 

5. Touch  the  black  test  probe  tip  to 

the negative side of the circuit.   
Touch  the  red  test  probe  tip  to  the  positive  side  of  the 
circuit. 

6. Apply power to the circuit. 

7. Read  the  current  in  the  display.  For  mA  DC 

measurements, 

reset 

the 

function 

switch 

to 

successively  lower  mA  DC  positions  to  obtain  a  higher 
resolution  reading.  The  display  will  indicate  the  proper 
decimal point and value. 

 

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS 

WARNING:

 To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to 

the  unit  under  test  and  discharge  all  capacitors  before 
taking  any  resistance  measurements.  Remove  the 
batteries and unplug the line cords. 

1. 

Set the function switch to the highest
