AC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on
any circuit whose voltage exceeds 250V AC.
CAUTION:
Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale
for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage
to the meter and/or the test leads.
1.
Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack.
2.
For ACcurrent measurements , set the function switch to the AC 10A
position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.
3.
Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at
the point where you wish to measure current.
4.
Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit. And
touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.
5.
Apply power to the circuit.
6.
Read the current in the display. The display will indicate the
proper decimal point, value and symbol.
