To measure a microamp current:
1. Turn the rotary function switch to the
애
A position.
2. Plug the red and black test leads into the red and
black jacks at the bottom front of the meter.
3. Connect the test leads in series with the device
whose current flow you wish to measure.
4. Read the measured current amplitude on the
primary readout.
MEASURING AC OR DC VOLTAGE
••
Warning
••
Do not measure voltage higher than 1000V. Doing so
may damage the meter’s internal circuitry. If the
voltage is over 1000V, the beeper will sound
continuously, indicating an over-range measurement.
(1) Set the rotary function switch to the
position.
By default, when the switch is set to this position the
meter will measure AC voltage. To measure DC
voltage, press the
FUNC/INRUSH
button to change the
icon at the lower left of the LCD from
to
.
(2) Plug the red and black test leads into the red and
black jacks at the bottom front of the meter.
(3) Touch or clip the black test lead to the lower-
potential point of the circuit under test, and the red
test lead to the higher-potential point.
(4) Read the measured voltage on the display. If the
test leads are reversed, a minus sign will appear at
the left of the displayed value.
Using the Non-contact Voltage Detector
The NCV function provides a safe (non-contact) way
to check whether a line, cable or AC outlet is “hot”
(energized). At the tip of the clamp jaw (Fig. 1, Callout
1) is an NCV sensor that can detect from a short
distance the electromagnetic field created by AC
voltage. If voltage is detected, the meter produces
audible and visual alarms (a beeping sound, and a
