SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
DC Current Measurement
Measure current in DC circuits carrying up to 5 amperes.
Note: Amperage is always tested
in series with circuit under test.
Note: When using manual range
mode, always start with the highest
range if the amperage is unknown.
WARNING! To prevent damage
to the meter, be sure to use
the correct input jacks.
1. Turn the Range Selector Switch to
the 5A position. Start with the highest
range if the amperage is unknown.
2. Always start with the highest range
if the amperage is unknown.
3. Turn off power to the circuit and
allow capacitors to discharge.
4. Break the circuit and connect the
Test Leads in series with the circuit
being measured. Connect the black
lead on the lower voltage side.
• Plug black test lead
into COM Jack.
• Plug red test lead into 5ADC Jack.
5. Power on the circuit and read
measurement. If the reading is less
than 0.2 amps, switch the red lead to
the VΩmA Jack and set the Range
Selector Switch to the 200mA setting.
6. Repeat measurement. Set the Range
Selector Switch to the range that is
closest but still higher than the reading.
Note: Measure for a maximum 30
seconds and allow 15 minutes to
pass between measurements.
7. When testing is complete, turn
Multimeter OFF, remove Test
Leads and store with Multimeter.
Resistance Measurement
Measure circuit resistance up to 2000K Ohms.
WARNING! To prevent electric shock, turn
off all power and fully discharge capacitors
in the circuit under test before measuring.
Notice: When measuring Ohms,
start with the lowest range if the
resistance is unknown.
1. Turn the Range Selector Switch
to the 200Ω position.
2. Plug the black lead into the COM
Jack. Plug the red lead into the
VΩmA Jack. Turn Multimeter ON.
Short the Test Leads together. The
meter should read “0” Ohms.
3. Carefully touch the exposed
conductors with the tips of the Probes.
4. Read measurement. If the reading
is “1”, set the Range Selector Switch
to the next higher Ohm (Ω) position.
5. When testing is complete, turn
Multimeter OFF, remove Test
Leads and store with Multimeter.
