Completing an AC or DC voltage 
measurement 

 

 

 

CAUTION: 

To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the 

meter, do not attempt to take any voltage measurement that 
might exceed 300V DC or AC rms.

 

 

 

CAUTION: 

Do not measure AC/DC voltages if a monitor on 

the circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage 

surges may occur that can damage the meter.

 

 

□ 

Set the switch (B) to the AC (1) or DC (2) position. 

□ 

Connect the black test lead (F) to the common jack (C) and 

the red test lead (E) to the positive jack (D). 

□ 

Connect the test leads (E and F) to the circuit being 

measured. 

□ 

Read the value on the LCD display (A). The polarity of the 
red test lead (E) connection will be indicated when making 
a DCV measurement.
