Warning! When you connect the test probes to an AC
outlet, do not turn the rotary selector switch to another
range. It could damage the meter's internal components or
injure you.
6.2. Measuring DC/AC Current
WARNING!
*
Do not apply voltage directly across the terminals. You
must connect the meter in series with the circuit.
*
The 10A terminal is fused. A severe fire hazard and
short circuit danger exists if you apply a voltage with
high-current capability to this terminal. The meter can be
destroyed under such conditions.
To measure current, break the circuit and connect the
probes to two circuit connection points. Never connect the
probes across a voltage source in parallel. Doing so can
blow the fuse or damage the circuit under test.
Note: The maximum input current is 0,2A or 10A depending
on the terminal used. In the 10A range excessive current
flow blows up the fuse, which must be replaced.
1. Set the rotary selector to the desired A range. If you do
not know the current level, set it to the highest position
and reduce the setting as needed to get a reading.
2. Plug the black test lead into your meter's COM terminal
and the red test lead into your meter's mA or 10A
terminal.
3. Remove power from the circuit under test and then
break the circuit at the appropriate point.
4. Connect the test leads in series with the circuit.
