Current ranges are 600.0
μ
A, 6000
μ
A, 60.00 mA, 600.0 mA,
6.000 A, and 20.00 A.
Turn off the power of the measured circuit. Discharge
all high- voltage capacitors.
Connect the black test lead to the
terminal. For
currents below 600 mA, connect the red test lead to
the
terminal; for currents within 600 mA –
20 A, connect the red test lead to the
terminal.
Rotate the rotary switch to the appropriate position
according to the measurement range,
,
, or
.
Disconnect the circuit path to be tested. Connect the
black test lead to one side of the circuit (with a lower
voltage); connect the red test lead to the other side
(with a higher voltage). Reversing the leads will
produce a negative reading, but will not damage the
multimeter.
Select DC or AC measurement mode. Default is DC
measurement mode,
will be displayed. Press
to switch into AC measurement mode,
will be displayed.
Turn on the power of the measured circuit, and read
the display. Press
to enable and cycle through
the manual ranges. If "OL" is displayed, it indicates
the input exceeds the selected range and the rotary
switch should be set to the position with higher range.
Turn off the power of the measured circuit and
discharge all high-voltage capacitors. Remove the test
leads and restore the circuit to the original condition.
