Measuring Dc Current (See Figure 3); Measuring Ac Current - True Rms (See Figure 4) - Amprobe HD160C Mode D'emploi

Measuring DC Current (See Figure 3)

1. Set the Function Switch to a current function,
2. If AC is displayed, press the AC button to turn on
3. If the 2A function is not selected and RANGE is displayed, press the RANGE button
to enable auto ranging.
4. Connect the test leads: Red to AE, Black to COM.
5. Turn off power to the circuit being measured.
6. Open the circuit (-X-) in which current is to be measured (voltage between this
point and ground must not exceed 1500 V dc).
7. Securely connect test leads in series with the load.
8. Turn on power to the circuit being measured.
9. Read the display, and, if necessary, correct any overload (OL or -OL) conditions.

Measuring AC Current - True rms (See Figure 4)

1. Set the Function Switch to a current function, µA, mA, or 2A.
2. If DC is displayed, press the AC button to turn on AC.
3. If the 2A function is not selected and RANGE is displayed, press the RANGE button
to enable auto ranging.
4. Connect the test leads: Red to AE, Black to COM.
5. Turn off power to the circuit being measured.
6. Open the circuit (-X-) in which current is to be measured (voltage between this
point and ground must not exceed 1000 V ac).
7. Securely connect test leads in series with the load.
8. Turn on power to the circuit being measured.
9. Read the display, and, if necessary, correct any overload (OL) conditions.
