c) Current Measuring “A” 10
The voltage in the measuring circuit may not exceed 600 V.
Do not measure any currents above 10 A in the 10A range and no currents above 200
mA in the µA/mA range, otherwise the fuses trigger.
Measuring >5 A may only be performed for max. 30 seconds and at 15 minute inter-
vals.
Always start current measurements at the highest measurement range and switch down to lower ranges
if necessary. Before changing the measurement range, always shut off the circuit. All current measuring
ranges are secured with fuses and thus protected against overload.
Proceed as follows to measure AC voltages “A-AC”:
-
Turn the DMM on and select measuring function “A”.
The table shows the different measuring functions and
possible measuring ranges. Select your measuring range
and the respective measuring jacks. “AC” appears in the
display.

Insert the red measuring line into the µA/mA or 10A mea-
suring jack. Plug the black measuring line into the COM
socket.
-
Now connect the two measuring prods in series to the object to be measured (power circuit, switch
etc.). The measured value is indicated on the display
-
After measuring, remove the measuring lines from the measured object and turn the DMM off.
Proceed as follows to measure “A-DC” direct current:
-
Turn the DMM on and select measuring function “A”.
The table shows the different measuring functions and possible measuring ranges. Select your mea-
suring range and the respective measuring jacks. “AC” appears in the display.
