B. DC AND AC CURRENT MEASUREMENT (see figure 4)
Warning!
Never attempt an in-circuit current measurement where the open circuit voltage
between terminals and ground is greater than 60V DC or 30V rms in AC.
If the fuse burns out during measurement, the Meter may be damaged or the operator
himself may be hurt. Use proper terminals, function, and range for the measurement.
When the testing leads are connected to the current terminals, do not parallel them
across any circuit.
The DC Current Measurement has 3 measurement positions on the rotary switch: 2mA,
200mA and 20A.
The AC Current Measurement has 3 measurement positions on the rotary switch: 20mA,
200mA and 20A.
To measure current, do the following:
1. Turn off power to the circuit. Discharge all high-voltage capacitors.
2. Insert the red test lead into the 20A or mA input terminal and the black test lead into the COM
terminal.
When you measure current below 200mA, please insert the red test lead into the mA input
terminal. When you measure 200mA or above, insert the red test lead into the 20A input
terminal.
3. Set the rotary switch to an appropriate measurement position in
4. Break the current path to be tested. Connect the red test lead in serial to the more positive
side of the break and the black test lead to the more negative side of the break.
5. Turn on power to the circuit.
The measured value shows on the display.
