Using the Input Terminals
All functions except current use the *and
COM inputs. Current functions use the inputs shown
below:
•
I or K function: Use A and COM inputs from 400
mA to 20 A. Use mA/µA and COM for inputs ≤ 400
mA.
•
= or x function: Use mA/µA and COM for inputs ≤
5000.0 µA.
If a test lead is plugged into the mA/µA or A terminal, but
the rotary switch is not correctly set to one of the current
measuring positions, the Input Alert™ beeper warns you
by making a chirping sound. This warning is intended to
stop you from attempting to measure voltage, continuity,
resistance, capacitance, or diode values when the leads
are plugged into a current terminal.
Figure 2-5 shows the input terminals.
