DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
I CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 10A I
I
scale for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds
may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads.
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into
the negative (COM) jack.
2. For current measurements up to 200mA DC,
set the function switch to the 200mA DC
position and insert the red test lead banana
plug into the (mA) jack.
3. For current measurements up to 10A DC, set
the function switch to the 10A range and
insert the red test lead banana plug into the
(10A) jack.
4. Remove power from the circuit under test,
then open up the circuit at the point where
you wish to measure current.
5. Touch the black test probe tip to the
negative side of the circuit.
Touch the red test probe tip to the positive
side of the circuit.
6. Apply power to the circuit.
7. Read the current in the display. The display
C--._v-, I,'
will indicate the proper decimal point and value.
