b.Measuring AC Volts
WARNING!
Do not attempt to make a voltage
measure-
ment of more than 600V or of a voltage level that
is unknown.

ured.
2.

function depending on the voltage
to be measured.
5.
Connect the test leads to the circuit to be
measured.
6.
Reconnect power to the circuit to be
measured.
7.
Read the voltage on the 120.
c. Measuring Resistance
WARNING!
Do not attempt to make resistance measurements
with circuit energized. For best results, remove
resistor completely from circuit before attempting
to measure.
NOTE:
To make accurate low ohm measurements, short ends of test
leads together and record resistance reading. Deduct this
value from actual readings.
