AC/DC Current Measurement
The GDM-834X series DMMs have two input terminals for current
measurement. A 0.5A terminal for current less than 0.5A and a 10A
terminal for measurements up to 12A.
The units can measure 0 ~ 10A for both AC and DC current.

Connection
Connect the test lead between the 10A terminal
and the COM terminal or DC/AC 0.5A
terminal and the COM terminal, depending on
the input current.
For current ≤ 0.5A use the 0.5A terminal; For
current up to 12A use the 10A terminal. The
display updates the reading.
