Meter Functions - Voltage (V)

 

 

Select the

 

Volts “ V” 

range with 

the rotary switch. 

The meter will automatically 

select he best voltage (V) range.   

Select DCV or ACV with the 

MODE

 button. 

 
Insert: 

 

Black lead in 

COM

 terminal. 

 

Red lead in 

V-

Ω

-RPM 

terminal 

Touch the Black probe to ground or 
to the negative (-) circuit 

Touch the Red probe to the circuit 
coming from the power source 
 

IMPORTANT: Voltage must be 
measured in parallel (Red probe 
measuring circuit from power 
source). 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 

 

 

 

WARNING

When measuring voltage,

be sure the Red test lead is 

in the terminal marked “V”.

If the test lead is in an Amp

(A) or Milliamp (mA)

terminal, the    meter can be

damaged and risk of

personal injury.
