AC CURRENT (FREQUENCY, DUTY CYCLE) MEASUREMENTS
CAUTION: Do not make 20A current measurements for longer than 30 seconds. Exceeding 30
seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads.
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.
2. For current measurements up to 6000µA AC, set the function switch to the
yellow µA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the µA/mA
jack.
3. For current measurements up to 600mA AC, set the function switch to the
yellow mA position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the µA/mA
jack.
4. For current measurements up to 20A AC, set the function switch to the
yellow 10A/HZ/% position and insert the red test lead banana plug into the
10A jack.
5. Press the MODE button to indicate “AC” on the display.
6. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at the
point where you wish to measure current.
7. Touch the black test probe tip to the neutral side of the circuit.
Touch the red test probe tip to the “hot” side of the circuit.
8. Apply power to the circuit.
9. Read the current in the display.
10. Press and hold the MODE button to indicate “Hz”.
11. Read the frequency in the display.
12. Momentarily press the MODE button again to indicate “%”.
13. Read the % duty cycle in the display.
14. Press and hold the MODE button to return to current measurement.
RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all
capacitors before taking any resistance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line
cords.
1. Set the function switch to the green Ω position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.
Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive jack.
3. Press the MODE button to indicate “”on the display.
4. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or part under test. It is best to
disconnect one side of the part under test so the rest of the circuit will not
interfere with the resistance reading.
5. Read the resistance in the display.
