6.1. Measuring AC/DC voltage
WARNING!
Do not try to measure a voltage greater than 1000 V DC/AC.
You might damage your meter and expose yourself to a severe
shock hazard.
Follow these steps to measure DC/AC Voltage.
1. Set the rotary selector to the V position. Select the
range as required for the voltage level to be measured. If
you do not know the voltage level, start with the range
switch set to the highest voltage position and reduce the
setting as needed to get a reading.
2.
Plug the black test lead into the meter’s COM terminal and
the red test lead into the V/
/Hz/
-terminal.
3. Connect the test leads to the DC/AC voltage source you
want to measure.
Warning!
When you connect the test probes to an AC outlet, do
not turn the rotary selector switch to another range. It could
damage the meter’s internal components or injure you.
6.2. Measuring DC/AC Current
WARNINGS!
*
Do not apply voltage directly across the terminals. You must
connect the meter in series with the circuit.
* The 10 A terminal is fused. A severe fire hazard and short
circuit danger exists if you apply a voltage with high-current
capability to this terminal. The meter can be destroyed under
such conditions.
