Figure 2-4. Measuring Milliamps
WARNING
Do not attempt to measure high currents. The mA input terminal is
protected by a F1A/250V fast blow ceramic fuse.
c
Turn the selector to DC and AC Milliamps.
d
Connect the leads as shown.
e
is not available in DC and AC Milliamps, all other buttons can be used.
Each press of the button
switches alternately between DC or AC Milliamps.
1. Insert the black and red test leads into the
COM
and
mA
input terminals
respectively.
2. Select the desired DC current range or AC current range.
3. Turn off or disconnect the circuit to be measured from all power sources,
connect the multimeter in series with the conductor where the current is to be
measured.
4. Switch on the power to the circuit under test. Note the reading.
5. After completing the measurement, turn off the power to the circuit under test,
disconnect the test leads from the multimeter.
6. The DC and AC Milliamps measurements are always fixed range.
