Follow the steps below to measure DC (A
Switch on the DMM using the rotary dial
(F) and select the "A
mode and the predicted measurement
range (60 A / 400 A). "A" and the AC sym-
bol AC will appear on the display.
Press the "MODE" button to switch to DC
mode. "DC" will appear on the display.
The display is automatically set to zero
when the current clamp is closed. If there
is a strong magnetic field that affects the
reading, use the relative value function
("REL").
Press the opening lever (E) to open the
current clamp.
Surround the conductor that you want to
measure and close the current clamp.
Position the conductor in the middle be-
tween the two triangular position symbols
on the clamp. Pay attention to the direction of the current. The positive wire must
run from front to back from the current source.
The measured current is indicated on the display.
If a negative current is displayed, this indicates that the polarity of the wire is
reversed or the current is flowing in the opposite direction (e.g. solar powered
or charging devices).
After taking a measurement, remove the current clamp from the measured ob-
ject and switch off the DMM. Turn the rotary switch to the "OFF" position.
