DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
CAUTION: Do not measure DC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON
or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.
1. Set the function switch to the V DC position (“mV” will appear in the display).
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack and the red test lead
banana plug into the positive (V) jack.
3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test. Be sure to observe the correct polarity
(red lead to positive, black lead to negative).
4. Read the voltage in the display. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and
value. If the polarity is reversed, the display will show (-) minus before the value.
AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not be long enough to contact
the live parts inside some 240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are
recessed deep in the outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0 volts when the outlet
actually has voltage on it. Make sure the probe tips are touching the metal contacts
inside the outlet before assuming that no voltage is present.
CAUTION: Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being switched ON
or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage the meter.
1. Set the function switch to the V AC position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack and the red test lead
banana plug into the positive (V) jack.
3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.
4. Read the voltage in the display. The display will indicate the proper decimal point, value
and symbol (AC, V, etc.).
DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
CAUTION: Do not make current measurements on the 10A scale for longer than 30
seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter and/or the test leads.
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack.
2. For current measurements up to 2000µA DC, set the function switch to the µA position
and insert the red test lead banana plug into the (A) jack.
3. For current measurements up to 200mA DC, set the function switch to the mA range
and insert the red test lead banana plug into the (mA) jack.
4. For current measurements up to 10A DC, set the function switch to the A position and
insert the red test lead banana plug into the 10A jack.
5. Press the AC/DC button until “DC” appears in the display.
6. Remove power from the circuit under test, then open up the circuit at the point where
you wish to measure current.
7. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit. Touch the red test
probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.
8. Apply power to the circuit.
9. Read the current in the display. The display will indicate the proper decimal point, value
and symbol.
