Basic Measurement Instructions
Measuring Current with Internal Current Shunt
MEASURING CURRENT WITH INTERNAL CURRENT SHUNT
WARNING: Exercise care when connecting in series with a circuit, especially those containing motor(s). Sudden disconnects
may create higher than expected voltages due to inductive kick.
WARNING: Perform a Fuse Check before measuring currents with
the internal current shunt. Exercise caution in determining wheth-
er a circuit is “live” if the meter does not report a current. This
may indicate either a poor connection or a blown fuse.
NOTE: AC current range is limited by the instantaneous current.
Peaks above the listed limits will result in incorrect readings. Der-
ate AC current limits with high crest factors accordingly.
Disconnect power from the circuit to be measured.
Break the circuit and wire the meter in series through the “A” and “C”
terminals.
Positive DC current ows into the “A” terminal.
