Measuring AC Amperage CAUTION! Do not attempt to make a current measurement with the test leads. The EEDM575D measures the current by clamping the jaw around one conductor (wire). Clamping around more than one wire will result in erroneous readings. Make sure the temperature probe is NOT plugged in during this test.

Measuring Diodes WARNING! Do not attempt to make diode measurements with the circuit energized. For accurate tests, remove the diode completely from the circuit prior to measuring it. Make sure the temperature probe is NOT plugged in during this test. Instrument set-up: FUNC.
Page 21
Measuring Capacitance WARNING! All capacitance measurements are to be made on de- energized circuits with all capacitors discharged only. Failure to de-energize and discharge capacitors prior to measuring them could result in instrument damage and/or personal injury. Make sure the temperature probe is NOT plugged in during this test.

Measuring Frequency WARNING! Never attempt a frequency measurement with a voltage source greater than 500V. Determine the voltage of any unknown frequency source before connecting the instrument in frequency mode. Make sure the tempera- ture probe is NOT plugged in during this test. Instrument set-up: FUNC.

Application Notes (DC Volts) The EEDM575D will accurately measure rectified DC Voltages like those encountered in furnaces and other appliances even though many of these devices do not have output filtering or other signal condi- tioning. When measuring DC Voltage of a battery, the most accurate reading can be attained by testing the battery under load.
Page 32
Application Notes (Resistance) When measuring resistance of a motor, make sure the power is disconnected prior to testing. Set up meter following steps under “ Measurement Procedure ” on page 16, and proceed with the fol- lowing: • Connect the red test lead to one power input line of the motor and the black test lead to the other power input line of the motor.
Page 33
Application Notes (AC Amps) When measuring AC Amps of a motor there are two types of measurements that can be made, running current and in-rush or start-up current. Start-up current will usually be much higher than running current. “ Measurement Procedure ” on page 17, and Set up the meter following the steps under then proceed with the following: Clamp the meter around a single wire and...
