  • Page 13: Current Measurement

    To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, do not attempt to take any voltage measurement that might exceeds 600Vdc or 600Vac rms. Do not apply more than 600Vdc or 600Vac rms between the common terminal and the earth ground. 4.2 Current measurement - Set the rotary switch to the desired A or A~ range.
