5.5.2 Basic current measurements
WARNING
Do not measure the current on a circuit when the voltage increases to more
than 600 V. This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to
persons.
Note
If the measured voltage is greater than 30 V DC or AC RMS, the
indicator
is displayed.
When measuring current using the clamp jaws, only one conductor should be en-
closed by the jaws—refer to Figure 5.1.
Figure 5.1 Correct and incorrect setup
1. Ensure that the probe/thermocouple leads are disconnected from the meter.
2. Set the function switch to the
position.
3. Press the trigger to open the clamp jaws. Fully enclose one conductor—refer
to Figure 5.1. For optimum results, center the conductor in the jaws.
4. Read the current value on the display.
