4. Hold down the trigger lever on the probe
so the probe’s jaws open. Then insert
the AC current adapter’s loop inside the
probe’s jaws. Release the trigger lever.
5. To help ensure an accurate read-
ing, move the probe so the
adapter’s loop is in the center of
the open area inside the jaws.
Then note the reading on your
multimeter.
The device’s current (in amps) is
equal to twice the reading you see
(in milliamps) on the multimeter’s
display. For example, if your multi-
meter shows 5 milliamps, the
device is carrying 10 amps of cur-
rent.
6. When you have finished measuring the wire’s current,
immediately unplug the AC current adapter then unplug the
device’s power cord from the adapter.
