Measure AC or DC Current
XWWarning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, remove circuit power before you
connect the Product in the circuit when you
measure current. Connect the Product in series
with the circuit.
To measure ac or dc current:
1. Turn the rotary switch to A, m, or N.
2. Push B to toggle between ac or dc current
measurement.
3. Connect the red test lead to the A or mA
μA terminal
based on the current to be measured and connect the
black test lead to the COM terminal. See Figure 4.
4. Break the circuit path to be measured. Connect the test
leads across the break and then apply power.
5. See the display for the measured current.
