f) Current measurement in the 10A range
In this range, currents of up to 10A DC/AC can be measured. The current meas -
urement range is provided with a fuse and thus protected against overload.
Proceed as follows to measure direct currents:
- Connect the black measuring line with the COM socket
(7) and the red measuring line with the 10A socket (8).
- Set the range selection switch (5) to position "A".
-
Now connect the two test prods in series with the
object to be measured (battery, switching etc.); the
polarity of the measuring figure concerned will be indi-
cated together with the current measuring value on the
display (1).
Proceed as follows to measure alternating currents:
- Connect the black measuring line with the COM socket (7) and the red measuring
line with the 10A socket (8).
- Set the range selection switch (5) to position "A".
- Press the "MODE" button to change into the AC range; if you press it again you
return to the DC range.
- Now connect the two test prods in series with the object to be measured (genera-
tor, switching etc.); the current measuring value will be indicated on the display (1).
ƽ
Never measure currents higher than 10A.
Measurements within the 10A range may not last longer than 30s
and may only be performed in intervals of 15 minutes (cooling-
down phase for the shunt (measuring resistor)).
