AC Current (see fig. 2)
1.
Set the function Switch to A
2.
Select AC current using the SeleCT button.
3.
open spring-loaded clamp by pressing the lever on left side of meter.
4.
position clamp around one wire or conductor and release the clamp lever. Make sure that
the clamp is entirely closed. The clamp must be positioned around only one conductor. if it
is placed around two or more current carrying conductors, the reading is fAlSe.
5.
Read the displayed value, and if necessary, correct any overload (

CAUTIoN
Using the Resistance, Continuity, Diode or Capacitance functions on a live circuit will produce
false results and may damage the instrument. In many cases the suspected component must
be disconnected from the circuit to obtain an accurate measurement reading.
Resistance (see fig. 3)
1.
