6.2. Measuring DC/AC Current

WARNING!

* Do not apply voltage directly across the terminals. You

must connect the meter in series with the circuit.

* The 10A terminal is fused. A severe fire hazard and

short circuit danger exists if you apply a voltage with

high-current capability parallel to this terminal. The meter

can be destroyed under such conditions.

To measure current, break the circuit and connect the

probes to two circuit connection points in series. Never

connect the probes across a voltage source in parallel.

Doing so can blow the fuse or damage the circuit under test.

Note: The maximum input current is 0,5 A or 10A

depending on the terminal used. In the 10A range excessive

current flow blows up the fuse, which must be replaced.

1. Set the rotary selector to the desired A range.

2. Use SELECT key to switch between AC or DC

measurement

3. Plug the black test lead into your meter’s COM terminal

and the red test lead into your meter’s mA or 10A

terminal.

4. Connect the test leads in series with the circuit and read

the measurement value.
