Operating Guide

(1) Remove power from the circuit to be tested and discharge all high-voltage

capacitors.

(2) Turn the rotary switch to the , or position,, depending on the

amplitude of the current you expect to encounter. If you are unsure of the

amplitude, select the 10A position first and then switch to the or

position if all of your measurements are less than 400mA.

(3) By default, the DMM is initially configured to measure DC rather than AC

current, indicated by the presence of the icon at the lower left of the

LCD. If you are certain that the current you want to measure is DC current,

proceed to Step (4).

If you know that the current you want to measure is AC current, press the

FUNC button once; this will cause the icon to replace the icon on the

left side of the LCD. If you are unsure whether the voltage to be tested is AC

or DC, configure the DMM to measure AC voltage for safety reasons.

(4) Plug the black test lead into the black COM jack at the bottom left of the

front panel.

(5) Plug the red test lead into the A or jack. Choose the A jack if you

have set the rotary switch to the position, and the jack if you have

set it to the or position.

(6) Break the circuit and touch the red lead to the higher-voltage side of the

break and the black lead to the lower-voltage side.

(7) Re-apply power to the circuit and observe the display. If you are working in

Manual Ranging mode and the display shows O.L, the current amplitude is

beyond the selected current range. If that is the case, use the FUNC button

to select the next-widest position. If the readout is a negative value, the

leads are reversed but the absolute value represents a valid measurement

of current amplitude.

(8) Remove power from the circuit and discharge all high-voltage capacitors.

(9) Remove the test leads and restore the circuit to its original condition by

eliminating the break you made in Step 6.
