H. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
WARNING
To avoid fire and/or electrical shock hazards, DO NOT
connect the thermocouples to circuits greater than 30
Vrms, 42.4 Vpk or 60 Vdc.
NOTE: Temperature measurement requires use of an optional
“K-type” thermocouple.
1. Plug the Positive (+) test lead of the “K-type” thermocouple
into the °C / °F jack of the tester; plug the Negative (-) test
lead into the “15A” jack.
2. Set the tester’s Function/Range Selector Switch to the °C or
°F position, as desired (see Controls and Indicators, Items 7
and 8).
3. Read the results on the display.
I. AC/DC CURRENT MEASUREMENT (AMPS)
WARNING
To prevent electrical shock when performing current
measurements, follow all steps as indicated below DO NOT
skip any steps or take any short cuts.
The 15A range is not fused. To avoid current hazard and/or
damage to the tester, DO NOT try to take measurements on
circuits that have more than 15 amps. DO NOT take more
than 10 seconds to take the reading. A waiting period of AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES is necessary between every 15 second
testing period.
This tester displays AC current measurements as True Root
Mean Square (RMS) values (the “effective” or “nominal” current).
The RMS value of an AC current is equivalent to the DC current
that would yield the same power dissipation when applied to a
load resistor. True RMS readings are accurate for sinusoidal
waves and other AC wave forms without DC offset (square
waves, triangle waves, staircase waves, etc.).
1. Plug the RED test lead into the or the "15A" jack of
the tester, as applicable; plug the BLACK test lead to the
"COM" jack.
2. Set the tester’s Function/Range Selector Switch to the
appropriate Amps range position as desired (see Controls
and Indicators, Items 9 and 10).
 Use the SEL button (see Controls and Indicators, item
20) to select DC Amps or AC Amps, as desired.
