Measuring DC Volts
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to make a voltage measurement if
a test lead is plugged in the A or µmA input jack.
Instrument damage and/or personal injury may result.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to make a voltage measurement of more
than 1000V or of a voltage level that is unknown.

Measurement Procedure:
1.
Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2.
Plug black test lead into the

input jack.
4.
Set the rotary switch on the 135 to the desired range
in the
DCV
function depending on the voltage to be
measured.
5.
Connect test leads to circuit to be measured.
6.
Reconnect power to circuit to be measured.
7.
Read the voltage on the 135.
Application Notes
When measuring DC Voltage of a battery, the most accu-
rate reading can be attained by testing the battery under
load. To accomplish this, follow steps 1 through 4 above
and the following (with the battery in holder and device
turned on):
•
Connect the red test lead from the meter to the
positive (+) terminal of the battery.
•
Connect the black test lead to the negative (-) terminal
of the battery.
•
Reconnect power to the circuit and read the voltage on
the 135.
