User Manual

3. Plug the black test lead into the meter’s COM terminal and
the red test lead into the V/ terminal.
4. Connect the test leads to the AC voltage source you want to
measure.
Notes:
* The meter’s high input sensitivity produces a wandering effect
when the test leads are not connected to any circuit. This is
normal and accurate reading will appear when you connect the
test leads to a circuit.
6.3. Measuring DC/AC Current
Warning!
Never measure currents in circuits with voltages over 250 V
DC/AC. It may damage the meter and expose yourself to a
severe shock hazard. A severe fire hazard and short circuit
danger exist if you apply a voltage with high current capability to
this terminal. The 10 A terminal is fuse protected. Never
measure currents exceeding 10 A. When using this range with
high currents, keep the duty cycle to 30 seconds on load and 15
minutes off load.
Warning!
To avoid electric shock do not measure AC current on any circuit
whose voltage exceeds 250 V AC.
Caution:
Do not make current measurements on the 10 A scale for longer
than 10 sec. Exceeding 10 sec. may cause damage to the meter
and / or the test leads.
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM jack.
2. For current measurements up to 2200µA DC, set the
function switch to the "µA" position and insert the red test
lead into the µA/mA-jack.
3. For current measurements up to 220 mA DC, set the
function switch to the "mA" position and insert the red test
lead into the µA/mA-jack.
