To measure AC or DC current without breaking the circuit:
- Turn the rotary switch to the “A~” or “A-” position.
- Press the AC/DC HFR/ZERO button to select AC or DC current if necessary. For DC current, press and hold to zero the display before measurement.

6.3. AutoV Function (LoZ)
The AutoV function with low input impedance (LoZ) helps to suppress 'ghost voltages' or 'reactive voltages' that can appear on unused wires or open circuits due to capacitive coupling. To use:
- Insert the red test lead into the VΩ jack and the black test lead into the COM jack.
- Turn the rotary switch to the “LoZ” position. The meter will automatically detect AC or DC voltage.
- Connect the test probes across the circuit.
- Ka voltage iye lori ifihan.
6.4. Low Pass Filter (HFR)
The HFR (High Frequency Rejection) low pass filter is used for stable and accurate measurements on variable frequency drives (VFDs) or other noisy electrical environments. To activate:
- Select the desired AC current (A~) or AC voltage (V~) function.
- Press and hold the AC/DC HFR/ZERO button until “HFR” appears on the display.
- Proceed with your measurement as usual. The filter will suppress high-frequency noise components.
