AC/DC CURRENT (LESS THAN 2000A)
AC Current is measured by pressing the
clamp trigger
and placing it around a current-carrying wire.
When measuring, care should be taken to
ensure that the clamp
closed with trigger
that the wire passes perpendicularly through
the center of the clamp

To measure current:
1. Rotate the Function Selector switch

2. The meter defaults to AC measurement. To
measure DC, press the "SEL/DC ZERO"
button
to toggle between AC and DC

modes. The AC or DC icon on the LCD
indicates which mode is selected. Note
"AC" or "DC" on the display.

be shown in the display. The meter will auto-range to display the
measurement in the most appropriate range.
To measure inrush current:
