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 current measurements up to 10A AC, set the function switch to the
A position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.
3.
Press the AC/DC button until “AC” appears in the display.
4.
Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at
