Using the Multimeter
4. Hold down the trigger lever on
the ammeter. The ammeter’s
jaws open. Then insert the wire
you are measuring inside the
probe's jaws and release the trig-
ger lever.
5. Slide
T/3A/15A/30A
on the amme-
ter to
3A
,
15A
, or
30A
(to measure
current).
Note:
If you are not sure about
the current level you are measur-
ing, slide
T/3A/15A/30A
on the
ammeter to
30A
. Then keep try-
ing the next lowest range as nec-
essary until the reading appears
on the lower line of
ACVA/DCVA
on the multimeter.
6. To help ensure an accurate read-
ing, move the probe so the wire
is in the center of the open area
inside the jaws.
7. Read the lower line of
ACVA/
DCVA
on the multimeter.
• If
T/3A/15A/30A
on the ammeter is
set to
3A
, the AC current is the
reading you see. For example, if
the needle points to
2
, the AC
current is 2 amps.
• If
T/3A/15A/30A
on the ammeter is
set to
15A
, multiply that reading
by 5 to compute the current. For
example, if the needle points to
2
, the AC current is 10 amps (2
×
5 = 10A).
• If
T/3A/15A/30A
on the ammeter is
set to
30A
, multiply that reading
by 10 to compute the current. For
example, if the needle points to
2
, the AC current is 20 amps (2
×
10 = 20A).
8. Press
HOLD
on the ammeter to
hold the reading you see.
HOLD
clicks and stays in. Press
HOLD
again to release hold.
HOLD
clicks and pops out.
9. When you finish measuring cur-
rent, set the function selector to
OFF
. Then remove the AC
ammeter from the multimeter and
secure the top cover and back
cover with the screws.
