1. According to the current to be measured rotate function selector
switch to either position of uA, mA or 10A.
2. Set the device to the DC measurement function (DC "
") by
pressing the MODE key. In the LCD display the operation icon
(DC
“
“) appears
3. For current measurements up to 6000 µA DC, set the function
switch to the "µA" position and insert the red test lead banana
plug into the mA/µA jack.
4. For current measurements up to 600 mA DC, set the function
switch to the "mA" position and insert the red test lead banana
plug into the mA/µA jack.
5. For current measurements up to 10 A DC, set the function
switch to the 10 A position and insert the red test lead banana
plug into the 10 A jack.
6.
For safety reasons in case of unknown current magnitudes
always choose the 10A range and corresponding measured
value display switch to a mA measurement range.
7.
Remove power from the circuit under test and open the circuit at
the point where you wish to measure current.
(Ensure correct
polarity).
8. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit
and touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.
9. Apply power to the circuit.
10. Read the current in the display. The display will indicate the
proper decimal point, value and symbol.
