It's actually pretty easy once you know how. Here is the set up on my $22 Harbor Freight unit.
The red wire on the MM is moved over to the fused port on the far left. This allows the circuit to be connected by the MM. When plugged into the right hand side it "senses" only and juice does not flow through the box.
Pull the FP fuse out and connect the circuit with the MM. Double ended alligator clip wires help if you don't have a second set of hands.
6-7 amps is new. 8-10 mid life. 10+ = sunset. (From what I have read). Mine was making noise even at the mid-life range.
Please forgive if you are already aware of this.
