5. For current measurements up to 10A DC, set the function switch to the 10A position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack. 6. Connect the test leads in series with the circuit under test. 7. Apply power to the circuit. 8. Read the current in the display. EX210-EU-EN-V2.1-08/10...
4. Touch the test probes to the diode under test. Forward voltage will typically indicate 0.400 to 0.700V. Reverse voltage will indicate “OL”. Shorted devices will indicate near 0V and an open device will indicate “OL” in both polarities. EX210-EU-EN-V2.1-08/10...
