Measuring A Dc Current - Rothewald 10002567 Instrucciones De Uso

3. Connect the test probes to the device you are testing. Power
up the circuit. If "-" appears on the display, you have reversed the
polarity.
4. Now read off the measured voltage, and retain it if required with
the Hold button.

5.3 | Measuring a DC current

WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
• Never exceed the permissible measuring range
of 500 V DC! Never touch a circuit or circuit
components if the voltage measured is above
60 V DC!
IMPORTANT!
Risk of damage!
• Do not measure current in circuits in which
voltages greater than 250 V DC can occur!
• Do not attempt to measure currents greater
than 10 A – the multimeter would overheat!
• Currents of 10 A must only be measured for
10 seconds, after which the meter should be
disconnected for approx. 15 minutes to cool
down!
1. Connect the black test lead to the COM jack. For measurements
up to 500 mA, connect the red test lead to the VΩmAhFE jack. For
measurements greater than 500 mA, connect it to the 10 A jack.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired measuring range "A"
If you are in any doubt about the measuring range, start with the
