DC Current Measurements
Measure DC conductors carrying up to 10 amperes.
1. Turn the Range Selector Switch to the 10A position.
Always start with the highest range if the amperage is unknown.
2. Plug the red lead into the 10A (Top) Jack. Plug the black lead into the COM
(Bottom) Jack. Switch the Multimeter ON.
3. Carefully touch the exposed conductors with the tips of the probes to measure
the amperage.
Note: Amperage is always tested in series with the circuit under test.
4. Read measurement.
If the reading is less than .2 AMPs, switch the red lead to the VΩmA (Center)
Jack and set the Range Selector Switch to the 200 mA setting.
5. When testing is complete, remove Test Leads and store with multimeter.
Resistance Measurements
Measure circuit resistance up to 2000K Ohms.
WARNING: NEVER measure resistance on a circuit with voltage running
through it.
1. Turn the Range Selector Switch to the 200 mA position.
2. Plug the red Test Lead into the VΩmA (Center) Jack. Plug the black Test
Lead into the Com (Bottom) Jack. Switch the Multimeter ON.
Short the Test Leads together. The meter should read “0” Ohms.
3. Touch the exposed conductors with the tips of the Test Leads.
4. Read measurement.
If the reading is “1”, set the Range Selector Switch to the next higher Ohm
(Ω) position.
Transistor (hFE) Measurements
Test transistors to ensure proper function.
1. Turn the Range Selector Switch to the hFE position.
Switch the Multimeter ON.
2. Insert the transistor pins into the appropriate hFE jack (NPN or PNP)
according to the EBC (Emitter, Base, Collector) sequence.
3. The meter will show the approximate hFE value.
Diode Measurement
Test the voltage drop in diodes.
1. Turn the Range Selector Switch to the Diode ( ) position.
2. Plug the red Test Lead into the VΩmA (Center) Jack. Plug the black Test
Lead into the Com (Bottom) Jack. Switch the Multimeter ON.
3. Connect the red probe to the anode of the diode and the black to the cathode.
