If you are using the A terminal, set the rotary switch to
mA/A. If you are using the mA/ A terminal, set the
rotary switch to A for currents below 6000 A
(6 mA), or mA/A for currents above 6000 A.
To measure dc current, press
Break the circuit path to be tested. Touch the black
probe to the more negative side of the break; touch
the red probe to the more positive side of the break.
Reversing the leads will produce a negative reading,
but will not damage the Meter.
Turn on power to the circuit; then read the display. Be
sure to note the unit given at the right side of the
display ( A, mA, or A).
Turn off power to the circuit and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors. Remove the Meter and restore the
circuit to normal operation.
A.
The following are some tips for measuring current:
If the current reading is 0 and you are sure the Meter
is set up correctly, test the Meter's fuses as described
under "Testing the Fuses".
A current Meter drops a small voltage across itself,
which might affect circuit operation. You can calculate
this burden voltage using the values listed in the
Current Function specifications table.
