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 the black test lead banana plug into the negative 

COM

 jack. 

2. 

For current measurements up to 4000µA DC; 
Set the function switch to the 

µA

 position and insert the red test lead 

banana plug into the 

µA

 jack. 

3. 

For current measurements up to 400mA DC; 
Set the function switch to the 

mA

 position and insert the red test lead 

banana plug into the 

mA

 jack. 

4. 

For current measurements up to 10A DC; 
Set the function switch to the 

10A

 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 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.
