5.5. DC Current measurement
Warning:
To avoid electric shock do not measure AC current on any circuit
whose voltage exceeds 250 V AC.
Caution:
Do not make current measurements on the 10 A scale for longer than
30 sec. Exceeding 30 sec. may cause damage to the meter and / or
the test leads.
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM jack.
2. For current measurements up to 6 mA DC, set the function switch
to the "µA" position and insert the red test lead into the µA/mA-
jack.
3. For current measurements up to 600 mA DC, set the function
switch to the "mA" position and insert the red test lead into the
µA/mA-jack.
4. For current measurements up to 10 A DC, set the function
switch to the A position and insert the red test lead into the
10A jack.
5. Press the "FUNC" button until "DC" appears in the display.
6. Remove power from the circuit under test and open the circuit
at the point where you wish to measure current.
7. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit
and touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the
circuit.
8. Apply power to the circuit.
9. Read the current in the display. The display will indicate the
proper decimal point, value and symbol.
