AC/DC Current Measurements
WARNINGS:
Observe all safety precautions when working on live voltages.
Do not measure current on circuits that exceed 500 V.
1. For current measurements up to 200mA AC/DC,
set the rotary function switch to the mA position.
2. For current measurements up to 4000µA AC/DC,
set the rotary function switch to the µA position.
3. Press the
button to select AC or DC current.
MODE
4. Remove power from the circuit under test,
then open up the circuit at the point where
you wish to measure current.
5. Touch the test probe tips in series with the
circuit being measured. For DC current,
touch the black test probe to the negative
side of the circuit and touch the red test
probe to the positive side of the circuit.
6. Apply power to the circuit.
7. Read the current on the LCD display.
NOTE: 0.2A/500V fast acting Resettable Fuse on mA and µA ranges.
No replacement required.
