5.2.2.
Procedure
1.
Press function A, then select the coupling according to your measurements: AC,
DC, AC+DC (AC+DC is default)
2.
Connect the black lead to the COM terminal, the red lead to A, and the probe tips
in series between the source and the load as shown below:
3.
Read the measurement indicated on the main display unit. Look up the graph of
the trend values >1min28s if it is activated. Look up the secondary measurements if they
are activated (activated by Meas…
MEAS+).
4.
It is possible to display the specifications of the range for metrology or a RELative
measurement.
5.

Connecting the multimeter
Current clamp with current output connected to the multimeter
Current clamp with voltage output connected to the multimeter
5.3.2.
Main measurement
To avoid opening a circuit, we recommend measuring the current with a current clamp, output A or V (Ax
function).
The clamp function includes a precise ratio xxxx.XA/xxxx.XV or XA, making it possible to connect a broad range
of current clamps that you will find in the CHAUVIN ARNOUX catalogue; it is however necessary to verify that the
input/output range of the clamp matches the ranges available on the multimeter.
