Preparing for Current Measurements

• Turn off circuit power before connecting the test probes.
• Allow the meter to cool between measurements, if current
measurements approach or exceeds 2 amps.
• A warning tone sounds if you connect a test lead to a
current input while a current function is not selected.
• Open circuit voltage at the measurement point must not
exceed 1000V.
• Always measure current in series with the load. Never
measure current across a voltage source.
Measuring DC Current
1. Set the Function Switch to a current function, μA, mA,
or A.
2. Select the desired RANGE (5XP-A only).
3. Connect the test leads: Red to mA or A, Black to COM.
4. Turn off power to the circuit being measured.
5. Open the test circuit (
