DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS 

CAUTION: 

 Do not make 20A current measurements for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 

seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads. 

1. Insert black test lead banana plug into the negative 

COM

 jack. 

2. For current measurements up to 6000µA DC, set the function switch to the 

yellow

 µA

 position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 

µA/mA

 

jack. 

3. For current measurements up to 600mA DC, set the function switch to the 

yellow 

mA

 position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 

µA/mA

 

jack. 

4. For current measurements up to 20A DC, set the function switch to the yellow 

10A/HZ/%

 position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 

10A

 jack. 

5. Press the

 MODE

 button to indicate “

DC

” on the display. 

6. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at the point 

where you wish to measure current. 

7. 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. 

8. Apply power to the circuit. 
9. Read the current in the display. 

 

AC CURRENT (FREQUENCY, DUTY CYCLE) MEASUREMENTS 

CAUTION: 

 Do not make 20A current measurements for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 

seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads. 

1.  Insert black test lead banana plug into the negative 

COM

 jack. 

2.  For current measurements up to 6000µA AC, set the function switch to the 

yellow 

µA

 position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 

µA/mA

 

jack. 

3.  For current measurements up to 600mA AC, set the function switch to the 

yellow

 mA

 position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 

µA/mA

 

jack. 

4.  For current measurements up to 20A AC, set the function switch to the yellow

 

10A/HZ/%

 position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 

10A

 jack. 

5. Press the

 MODE

 button to indicate “

AC

” on the display. 

6.  Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at the point 

where you wish to measure current. 

7.  Touch the black test probe tip to the neutral side of the circuit. Touch the red test probe tip to the 

“hot” side of the circuit. 

8.  Apply power to the circuit. 
9.  Read the current in the display. 
10. Press  the 

Hz/%

 button to indicate “

Hz

”. 

11. Read the frequency in the display. 
12. Press  the 

Hz/%

 button again to indicate “

%

”. 

13. Read  the 

%

 duty cycle in the display. 

14. Press  the 

Hz/%

 button to return to current measurement.
