b) Current measuring "A"
The voltage in the measuring circuit may not exceed 250 V.
Measuring operations of >5 A may only be performed for at most 10 seconds with a
subsequent measuring pause of 15 minutes.
All current measuring ranges are provided with fuses and thus protected against
overload.
Proceed as follows to measure DC currents "µA, mA, A
Insert the red measuring lead into the 10 A max socket (10) if you are not sure about the size
of the current.
1. Turn the DMM on and select the measuring range "A, mA, µA
to start measuring with the largest measuring range if possible, because the fine fuse will trigger
in case of excess current.
2. Insert the red measuring lead into the 10 A max socket (10) (with currents > 400 mA) or into the
mAμA socket (8) (with currents <400 mA). Plug the black measuring lead into the COM socket.
3. Now connect the two test prods in series with the object to be measured (battery, circuit etc.); the
display indicates the polarity of the measured value together with the currently measured value.
The unit of the measurement is µA, mA or A (depends on the measuring range selected).
As soon as a minus "-" appears for the direct voltage measuring in front of the measuring value,
the measured voltage is negative (or the measuring tips have been mixed up).
Proceed as follows to measure AC currents "µA, mA, A
Insert the red measuring lead into the 10 A max socket (10) if you are not sure about the size
of the current.
1. Turn the DMM on and select the measuring range "A, mA, µA
to start measuring with the largest measuring range if possible, because the fine fuse will trigger
in case of excess current.
2. Press the SELECT button (1) to switch to "A, mA, µA ~".
3. Insert the red measuring lead into the 10 A max socket (10) (with currents > 400 mA) or into the
mAμA socket (8) (with currents <400 mA). Plug the black measuring lead into the COM socket.
4. Now connect the two test prods in series with the object to be measured (battery, circuit etc.); the
display indicates the polarity of the measured value together with the currently measured value.
The unit of the measurement is µA, mA or A (depends on the measuring range selected).
