5. Break the circuit path to be tested. Touch the black
probe to the more negative side of the break; touch
the red probe to the more positive side of the break.
Reversing the leads will produce a negative reading,
but will not damage the Meter.
6. Turn on power to the circuit; then read the display.
Be sure to note the unit given at the right side of the
display (µA, mA, or A).
7. Turn off power to the circuit and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors. Remove the Meter and restore
the circuit to normal operation.
The following are some tips for measuring current:
• If the current reading is 0 and you are sure the Meter
is set up correctly, test the Meter's fuses as
described under "Testing the Fuses".
• A small voltage drop across a current meter input
may effect operation of the measured circuit. You
can calculate this burden voltage using the values
listed in the specifications in Table 15.
