Measuring AC Current
(See Figure 4)
1. Set the Function Switch to a current function and
range, 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 (
measurement points.
6. Connect the test probes in series with the load (to the
measurement points).
7. Turn on power to the circuit being measured.
8. Read the display, and, if necessary, correct any
overload ( ) conditions.

2. Select the desired RANGE (5XP-A, 15XP-B).
3. Connect the test leads: Red toV , Black to COM.
4. Turn off power to the circuit being measured. Never
measure resistance across a voltage source or on a
powered circuit.
5. Discharge any capacitors that may influence the
reading.
6. Connect the test probes across the resistance.
7. Read the display. If appears on the highest range,
0o
the resistance is too large to be measured or the circuit
is an open circuit.
8. (15XP-B) The 2000 M range has a fixed 10-count
offset in the reading. For example, when measuring
1100 M, the display reads 1110. The 10 residual must
be subtracted to obtain the actual value of 1100 M
