Directions DC Voltage (
)
1. Connect RED lead to VΩmA jack and BLACK to COM. 2. Set ROTARY SWITCH to highest setting on DC VOLTAGE scale (1000). 3. Connect leads to the device to be tested using the alligator clips provided. 4. Adjust ROTARY SWITCH to lower settings until a satisfactory reading is obtained. 5. With the solar modules or array, the 20 DCV setting usually provides the best reading.
DC Current (
)
1. Connect RED lead to VΩmA jack and BLACK to COM. 2. Set ROTARY SWITCH to 10 ADC setting. 3. Connect leads to the device to be tested using the alligator clips provided. Note: The reading indicates DC AMPS; a reading of 0.25 amps equals 250 mA (milliamps). 4. With the solar modules or array, the 200mA DC setting usually provides the best reading. YOUR MULTIMETER MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE SHOWN. BEFORE USING THE MULTIMETER READ THE OPERATOR’S INSTRUCTION MANUAL INCLUDED IN THE BOX FOR SAFETY INFORMATION AND COMPLETE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. ©2019 The NEED Project
