DMM Setup and Measurements
12
Set the rotary function switch to the
position.
Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. Insert the red
test lead banana plug into the positive V jack.
Press the MODE key to switch to the Capacitance function.
Read the capacitance value on the display.
DC Current Measurements
Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.
For current measurements up to 4000
µA DC, set the rotary function switch to the
µA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the µAmA jack.
For current measurements up to 400mA DC, set the rotary function switch to the
mA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the
µAmA jack.
For current measurements up to 10 A DC, set the rotary function switch to the 10
A position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.
Press the MODE button to indicate "
" on the display.
Read the result on the display.
AC Current Measurements
Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative
COM jack.
For current measurements up to 4000
µA AC, set the
rotary function switch to the
µA position and insert the
red test lead banana plug into the
µAmA jack.
For current measurements up to 400mA AC, set the
rotary function switch to the mA position and insert the
red test lead banana plug into the
µAmA jack.
For current measurements up to 10 A AC, set the
rotary function switch to the 10 A position and insert the
red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.
Press the MODE button to indicate "
'" on the display.
Read the result on the display.
AC+DC Current Measurements
Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative
COM jack.
For current measurements up to 4000
µA AC+DC, set
the rotary function switch to the
µA position and insert
the red test lead banana plug into the
µAmA jack.
For current measurements up to 400mA AC+DC, set
the rotary function switch to the mA position and insert
the red test lead banana plug into the
µAmA jack.
For current measurements up to 10 A AC+DC, set the rotary function switch to
the 10 A position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.
Press the MODE button to indicate "
" on the display.
Read the current in the display.
