4.8 Preparing for Measurement

• Turn the rotary switch to turn on the meter. If the battery voltage is less than 3.6V,
the symbol will appear. Replace the batteries before use.
• symbol means the input signal should not exceed the limit indicated to protect
the meter from damage.
• Move the rotary switch to the correct measurement position and range.
• When connecting test leads to a circuit, connect the common lead before the hot
lead. When disconnecting, remove the hot lead before the common lead.

4.9 AC/DC Current

Warning
Electric shock hazard.
Remove test leads before measuring current.
• Move the rotary switch to the proper current position; DC current is the default
measurement. Press
• Hold the trigger and clamp one conductor to be measured.
• Measurement will be shown on the display.
• Press to switch to AC current.
• Clamp one conductor and the measurement will be displayed.
• In DC current, observe the"+" and"-" symbols on
•
Note:
1. Clamping more than one conductor will not produce correct readings.
2. Place the conductor in the center of the clamp for the most precise readings.
3. Press in DC current before measurement to get the most accurate
measurement.
4. indicates maximum input current is 80A DC/AC (non- RMS)
to return the display to zero if necessary.
