Using the Input Terminals
All functions except current use the *and
COM inputs. Current functions use the inputs shown
below:
•
I or K function: Use A and COM inputs from 400
mA to 20 A. Use mA/µA and COM for inputs ≤ 400
mA.
•
= or x function: Use mA/µA and COM for inputs ≤
5000.0 µA.
If a test lead is plugged into the mA/µA or A terminal, but
the rotary switch is not correctly set to one of the current
measuring positions, the Input Alert™ beeper warns you
by making a chirping sound and the primary display shows
"LEAd5". This warning is intended to stop you from
attempting to measure voltage, continuity, resistance,
capacitance, or diode values when the leads are plugged
into a current terminal.
Figure 2-5 shows the input terminals.
