Measuring Current

Warning

!

Never attempt an in-circuit current measurement where the
open-circuit potential to earth is greater than 300V. You may
damage the meter or be injured if the fuse blows during
such a measurement.

Caution

To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment
under test, check the meter’s fuses before measuring
current. Use the proper terminals, function, and range for
your measurement. Never place the probes across (in
parallel with) any circuit or component when the leads are
plugged into the current terminals. Maximum measurement
time allowed at the 10A current range function is 15
seconds. If you carry on making a measurement
continuously over 15 seconds, it can cause an erroneous
measurement and damage the meter.

Danger

!

Do not operate the Function Rotary Switch during
measurement. Do not make a measurement when opening
the battery cover or the meter case.

Current is the flow of electrons through a conductor. To measure
current, you must open the circuit under test, then place the meter
in series with the circuit.

To measure AC or DC current, proceed as follows:

-16-

Measuring DC Current

1. Turn off power to the circuit. Discharge all high-voltage
capacitors.

2. Turn on the meter, then set up the meter to measure DC current
as shown in Figure 8.

3. Insert the black test lead into the COM terminal and the red lead
into an input appropriate for the measurement range as shown
in Table 6.

4. Connect the black test lead to the negative side of the circuit
under test and the red test lead to the positive side of the circuit
so the meter is in series with the circuit.

5. Turn the on the power for the circuit under test.

6. The measured value is indicated on the display.

If you connect the test leads to the reverse polarities, a “–” symbol
will be shown on the display.

Note: To avoid blowing the meter’s 500mA fuse, use the mA
terminal only if you are sure the current is less than 400mA.

capacitors.

2. Turn on the meter, then set up the meter to measure AC current
as shown in Figure 9.

3. Insert the black test lead into the COM terminal and the red lead
in an input appropriate for the measurement range as shown in
Table 6.

4. Connect the test leads to the circuit under test so the meter is in
series with the circuit.

5. Set the meter to AC mode by pressing the SELECT button
(then, “AUTO” “AC” and “µA”, “mA”, or “A” symbols are indicated
on the display).

6. Turn on the power to the circuit under test.

7. The measured value is shown on the display.

Figure 9. AC Current Measurement (continued)

Measuring Resistance

Caution

To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment
under test, disconnect the circuit power and discharge all
high-voltage capacitors before measuring resistance.

Resistance is an opposition to current flow. The unit of resistance is
the ohm (Ω). The meter measures resistance by sending a small
current through the circuit.

-21-

1. To measure resistance, turn on the meter, then set up the meter
as shown in Figure 10.

2. Insert the black test lead into the COM terminal and the red test
lead into the terminal.

3. Set the Function Rotary Switch to the position (then,
“AUTO” “OL” and “MΩ” symbols are indicated on the display).

4. Connect the test leads to both ends of the resistance under test,
then the measured value is shown on the display.

Keep the following in mind when measuring resistance:

• Because the meter’s test current flows through all possible paths
between the probe tips, the measured value of a resistor in a
circuit is often different from the resistor’s rated value.

• The test leads can add 0.1Ω to 0.2Ω of error to resistance
measurements. To test the leads, touch the probe tips together
and read the resistance of the leads. If necessary, you can press
the REL

∆∆

button to automatically subtract its value.

Figure 10. Resistance Measurement

-22-

Testing Diodes

Caution

To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment
under test, disconnect the circuit power and discharge all
high-voltage capacitors before testing diodes.

Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, silicon controlled
rectifiers (SCRs), and other semiconductor devices. The test sends
a current through a semiconductor junction, then measures the
junction’s voltage drop. A typical junction drops 0.5V to 0.8V.

To test a diode out of a circuit, set up the meter as shown in Figure

11. In a circuit, a similar diode should still indicate a forward-bias
reading of 0.5V to 0.8V; however, the reverse-bias reading can vary
depending on the resistance of other pathways between the probe
tips.

Figure 11. Diode Test

-23-

Note: Open-circuit voltage between measuring terminals is
approximately 1.5V (measuring current approximately 1.5mA).

Testing for Continuity

Caution

To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment
under test, disconnect the circuit power and discharge all
high-voltage capacitors before testing for continuity.

Continuity is the presence of a complete path for current flow. The
continuity test features a beeper that sounds if a circuit is complete
(the resistance less than 120Ω approx.). The beeper allows you to
perform quick continuity tests without having to watch the display.

The continuity function detects intermittent opens and shorts lasting
as little as 1 millisecond (0.001 second). These brief contacts
cause the meter to emit a short beep. Refer to Figure 12 for
continuity testing setup instructions.

Figure 12. Continuity Test

-24-

Keep the following in mind while doing a continuity test:

• Even with the test leads shorted, the indicated value may not be
“0”. This is because of the resistance of the test leads and not a
fault. If necessary, you can press the REL
automatically subtract its value, then “0” will be indicated.

Measuring Capacitance

Caution

To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under
test, disconnect the circuit power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before measuring capacitance. Use the DC voltage
function to confirm that the capacitor is indeed discharged.

Capacitance is the ability of a component to store an electrical
charge. The unit of capacitance is the farad (F). Most capacitors
are in the nanofarad (nF) to microfarad (µF) range.
The meter measures capacitance by charging the capacitor with a
known current for a known period of time according to the
measuring capacitance:

Measuring capacitance <4µF Measuring time is about 2 seconds
Measuring capacitance <40µF Measuring time is about 7 seconds
Measuring capacitance <100µF Measuring time is about 15 seconds

To measure capacitance, proceed as follows:

1. Turn on the meter, then set up the meter as shown in Figure 13.

2. Insert the black test lead into the COM terminal and the red test
lead into the terminal.

3. Set the Function Rotary Switch to the ) position (then, “AUTO”
and “nF” symbols are indicated on the display).

4. Connect the test leads to both ends of the capacitor under test,
then the measured value is shown on the display. If the capacitor
is polarized, connect the red test lead to the positive lead and
the black test lead to the negative lead.

The following are some tips for measuring capacitance:

• To improve the measurement accuracy of small value
capacitors, press the REL
to subtract the residual capacitance of the meter and leads.

Measuring Frequency

Frequency is the number of cycles a signal completes each second.

The meter measures the frequency of a voltage or current signal
by counting the number of times the signal crosses a threshold level
each second.

To measure frequency, proceed as follows:

1. Turn on the meter, then set up the meter as shown in Figure 14.

2. Insert the black test lead into the COM terminal and the red test

lead into the terminal.

3. Set the Function Rotary Switch to the Hz position (then, the “Hz”

is shown on the display).

4. Connect the test leads to the circuit under test. The meter auto

ranges to one of the frequency ranges, then the measured value
is shown on the display.

Figure 14. Frequency Measurement

-27-

Measuring Duty Cycle

Duty cycle (or duty factor) is the percentage of time a signal is
above or below a trigger level during one cycle (Figure 16).

To measure duty cycle, proceed as follows:

1. Turn on the meter, then set up the meter as shown in Figure 15.

2. Insert the black test lead into the COM terminal and the red test

lead into the terminal.

3. Set the Function Rotary Switch to the Hz position. Then press

Hz/DUTY once to select DUTY Cycle measurement (then, a “%”
symbol is indicated on the display).
