Operating Instructions
AC or DC Voltage Measurements
1.
Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative
COM
jack and the red test
lead banana plug into the positive
V
jack.
2.
Turn the rotary switch to the
VAC
or
VDC
position.
3.
Touch the test probes to the circuit under test and read the voltage on the display.
AC or DC Current Measurements
CAUTION
: Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for longer than 30
seconds followed by a 15 minute cool down period. 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 and the red test
lead banana plug into the;
a. Positive
uA/mA
jack for currents to 400mA
b. Positive
10A
jack for currents to 10A
2.
Turn the rotary switch to the
uA
,
mA
or
A
position.
3.
Touch the test probes in series with the circuit under test and read the current on the
display.
Resistance Measurements
1.
Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative
COM
jack and the red test
lead banana plug into the positive
Ω
jack.
2.
Turn the rotary switch to the
Ω
position.
3.
Touch the test probes to the circuit or device under test and read the resistance on
the display.
