True RMS Digital Multimeter
6.4. Current Measurement
CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for longer than
30 seconds.Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the
test leads.
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the COM Input Jack.
2. For current measurements up to 200mAAC, set the function switch to the 200mAAC
Position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the Positive Input Jack.
3. For current measurements up to 10AAC, set the function switch to the 10A range
and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A Input Jack.
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 black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit; Touch the red test
probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.
6. Apply power to the circuit.
7. Read the current in the display, the display will indicate the proper decimal point
