VOLTCRAFT VC-12A Notice D'emploi page 43

To measure direct currents up to 250 mA/DC proceed as follows:
- With the rotary switch, select the measuring
range „mA".
- Connect the black measuring line to the
COM socket (5) and the red measuring line
to the socket „+" (6).
- Now perform the zero adjustment.
- Disconnect the object to be measured from
the mains.
- Pay attention to the correct polarity (red = + /
black = -) and connect the two measuring
tips in series with the measuring object (bat-
tery, circuit, etc.).
- In the event of faulty polarity, no value will be displayed. The built-in
protective diode blocks this reading. Stop the measurement and
repeat the measurement with the correct polarity.
- Read the measured value on the scale „DC".
- Disconnect the measured object from the mains and remove the meas-
uring tips from the measuring circuit after the measurement is complet-
ed. Switch off the multimeter (rotary switch position „OFF").
