CAUTION: Do not make current measurements at 10 Amps I
for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause
I
damage to the meter and/or the test leads.
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM
jack.
2. For current measurements up to 200mA AC or DC, set the
function switch to the 200m AAC or ADC position and insert
the red test lead banana plug into the mA jack.
3. For current measurements up to 10A AC or DC, set the
function switch to the 10A AAC or 10A ADC position and
insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.
4. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the
circuit at the point where you wish to measure current.
