Note:
Disconnect power from any resistor or circuit to be measured
before measuring resistance. Do not apply any power before the
measurements are completed and the test leads are
disconnected.
6. Connect the test leads across the resistance which is to be
measured.
7. Read the indication on the OHMS arc at the top of the dial.
Note that the arc reads from right to left for increasing
values.
8. Multiply the reading by the multiplier factor indicated at the
switch position: the result is the resistance value in ohms.
"K" on the dial stands for "thousand".
Caution
Never connect the test leads directly across any source of
voltage when used for current measurements. This will damage
the instrument.
5.4. Measuring DC Current
Caution
Never connect the test leads directly across any source of
voltage when the instrument is used for current measurements.
This will damage the instrument.
1. Connect the black test lead in the COM - jack, and the red
test lead in the mA/
jack for measurement up to 500 mA.
For measurements from 500 mA up to 10 A please connect
to the 10A jack.
2. Set the range switch for the appropriate milliampere range.
3. With the circuit power turned off, open the circuit at the point
where its current is to be measured. Connect the instrument
in series with the circuit, observing proper polarities when
making connection.
