Observe all safety precautions when working on live voltages.
WARNING:
Observe all safety precautions when working on live voltages.
WARNING:
1. Set the rotary function switch to the
600V position.
2. Insert the black test lead into the
negative
COM
input jack and the red
test lead into the positive
V
input jack.
3. 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.
4. Read the voltage in the display. If necessary,
reset the function switch to successively
lower positions to obtain a higher
resolution reading. The display will indicate
the proper decimal point and value. If the
polarity is reversed, the display will show
(-) minus before the value.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the
600V~ position.
2. Insert the black test lead into the
negative
COM
input jack and the red
test lead into the positive
V
input jack.
3. Touch the test probe tips in parallel to
the circuit under test.
4. Read the voltage on the display.
If necessary, reset the function switch
to successively lower positions to
obtain a higher resolution reading. The
display will indicate the proper decimal
point and value.
