3.1 AC VOLTS
There are two ranges for measuring AC voltage, 200 V and 500 V.
For more accurate measurements under 200 volts use the 200 Volt setting.
1. Connect the black test lead to the "COM" terminal and the red test lead
to the "V/
Ω
" input terminal.
2. Set the function/range switch to the appropriate AC V range shown above.
3. Touch the test leads to the circuit under test. With AC voltage,
the polarity of the test leads is not a factor.
NOTE: It is best to touch one of the test leads to ground or
Neutral first and then touch the 2nd test lead to the hot wire.
4. Read the value of the measurement displayed.
5. Typical AC Voltage measurements include wall outlets, appliance outlets, motors,
light fixtures and switches. When measuring outlets the specially spaced lead
holders allow for single one hand testing.

DANGER
• Never make measurement on a circuit in which voltage over 1000V exists.
• Do not exceed the CAT rating of the measuring device
• Do not attempt to make measurement in the presence of flammable gases. The use of the instrument may cause sparking, which can lead to an explosion.
• Never use the instrument if its surface or your hand is wet.
• Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measuring range.
• Never open the battery cover during a measurement.
• The instrument is to be used only in its intended applications or conditions.
Use in other than as intended may cause instrument damage or serious personal injury.
WARNING
• Never attempt to make any measurement if any abnormal conditions are noted, such as broken case,
cracked test leads and exposed metal part.
• Do not turn the function selector switch with plugged in test leads connected to the circuit under test.
• Do not install substitute parts or make any modification to the instrument. Return the instrument to your distributor for repair or recalibration.
• Do not try to replace the batteries if the surface of the instrument is wet.
• Always switch off the instrument before opening the battery compartment cover for battery replacement.
CAUTION
• Set the Function Switch to an appropriate position before starting measurement.
• Firmly insert the test leads.
• Disconnect the test leads from the instrument for current measurement.
• Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, high temperature and humidity or dewfall.
• Be sure to power off the instrument after use. When the instrument will not be in use for a long period, place it in storage after removing the batteries.
