How to pronounce figures multimeter to measure current

To find the quantity of the current equipment, you can use a digital multimeter measurement amplifier. Sometimes, need to know the amperage rating of the electrical Multimeter ADD91, so you can use it in conjunction with other devices. Replacement parts to work properly, must match the current rating. The multimeter readings range of test equipment nominal amperage.

1

Turn on the figures multimeter. Most digital systems running before they are ready for self-examination. Allow one minute period of time to complete its testing of meters.

2

Select the function read amps of power source from the battery or alternating FILTER FOR W212. Function is set to "A ~" measures alternating current, or AAC, "A =" measure DC amps, or ADC.

3

Within the range set, therefore, the maximum is much higher than the highest expected readings. This will protect the getting overloaded meters. If you overshoot, you can not get readings set.

4

The leads are connected to the appropriate terminal for current measurement. "COM" or side of the black lead connected. Red lead connected to the terminal end mark is low or high current measurements. Low reading terminal can be recognized as "300 mA" This will give readings mA 1 mA is equal to 0.001 amps. Multiplied by 1000 to get the digital amps.

5

Breakthrough to measure the current in the Circuit Tester ADD210. Setting an open end and the other black on the probe red probe. This may need to line the recirculating current between the cutting a wire to obtain a probe. Our idea is that the current flows through the digital multimeter to allow it to get a reading.

Tip:

Meters of the resistance level should be less than 1 ohm current measurement. Higher resistance will reduce the current flow, and give a erroneously low readings.

A valuable tool for Circuit Tester

An automotive circuit tester is a valuable tool to have if you suspect electrical problems in your car, or when adding electrically powered Circuit Tester ADD210 to your vehicle. An automotive circuit tester can inform you whether a particular wire in your vehicle has current running through it or not.

1

Check whether an individual wire is "hot," or has current going through it, by first connecting the alligator clip on the tester’s ground wire to a bare metal part of the car’s body, framework or engine block.

2

Touch the metal probe on the tip of the tester to the end of the wire in question that terminates in a metal connector. Pierce the plastic insulation of the ADD350 Noise Finder with the probe if no metal connector is visible. Do not push the probe all the way through the wire; only far enough to break the surface of the insulation.

3

Check your tester’s indicator light, LED light or gauge. Note that a wire that has current running through it will illuminate the light or cause the gauge to move.

4

Check the continuity of a wire to find out if it has a break or short circuit. Follow Step 1 for the procedure for grounding the tester to your vehicle. Stop when you get no response from the tester, indicating that you have a break or short circuit in the wire in between the point where you last got a good response and the last probe where you did not.

5

Test the level of charge in your vehicle’s battery, if your tester if equipped to do this. Check your owner’s manual if you are not sure. Connect the Multimeter ADD81 on your tester’s ground wire to the negative battery terminal. Hold the tester’s probe to the positive battery terminal. Determine the amount of charge by how many LED lights are illuminated. No lights indicate that there is no charge in the battery, all lights on indicate the battery is fully charged.

Notice:

Make sure your tester has fresh batteries before you start. Some rudimentary testers do not require batteries; the current from the wire you are testing will illuminate the indicator light. Check the directions that came with your tester if you are not sure.
