ranging, only the amp (A) ranges are selectable.
mA
Display measurement in milliamps (mA). In
manual ranging, only the milliamp (mA) ranges
are selectable.
Trend Plot
Enters the Meter Trend plot mode (See “Meter
Trend Plot” for more information).
DC Current Measurements
Current measurements can be made in low current or high current mode. In
low current measurement mode you can measure up to 600 mA. Connect to
the low current mA terminal and select one of the two ranges. In high
current measurement mode, you can measure up to 10 A by selecting one
of the two ranges and connecting to the 10A input terminal.
Configure all settings from the menu.
When set for Manual ranging (select Manual by toggling ), use the
key to increase the range. At the highest range, pressing this will
automatically go back to the lowest range.
DC Current ranges: 60 mA (low), 600 mA (low), 6 A (high), and 10 A (high).
CAUTION:
Always connect the test leads to the instrument
inputs first before connecting the DUT to avoid
potential shock hazard.
Low Current Measurements (< 600 mA)
Follow these steps to make measurements < 600 mA.
1.
Connect the negative (-) side with the black test lead to the COM
input.
2.
Connect the positive (+) side with the red test lead to the mA input.
3.
Probe with the test leads to the DUT and take the measured reading
on display.
