when the fuse blows in a circuit with open circuit voltage >1000 V // servicing CRT equipment. • Remove test leads before opening the case to change the battery. • Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance,continuity, diodes, or capacitance. - Page 7 Measuring AC Current - See Figure 3 1. Set the Function Switch to A position. 2. Open spring-loaded clamp by pressing the lever on left side of meter. 3. Position clamp around one wire or conductor and release the clamp lever. Make sure that the clamp is entirely closed.
- Page 8 Continuity Testing - See Figure 5 1. Set the Function Switch to Ω and press the SELECT button until is displayed. 2. Connect the test leads: Red to +, Black to COM. 3. Turn off power to the circuit being measured. 4.
- Page 9 Measuring μA Current - See Figure 9 1. Set the Function Switch to and press the SELECT button for AC or DC is displayed. 2. Connect the test leads: Red to +, Black to COM. 3. Turn OFF power to the circuit being measured and break the circuit for connecting test leads.
