Using The Input Terminals - Fluke 87 Series IV User Manual

Using the Input Terminals

All functions except current use the
COM inputs. Current functions use the inputs shown
below:
I K
or function: Use A and COM inputs from 50
mA to 20 A. Use mA/ A and COM for inputs
= x
or function: Use mA/ A and COM for inputs
5000.0 A.
If a test lead is plugged into the mA/ A 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.
