APPENDIX A - HOW TO USE A VOLTMETER
Step 1
Plug the probes into the meter. Red goes to the positive (+) and black to the negative (-).
Step 2
Turn the selector dial or switch to the type of measurement you want. To measure direct current - a battery, for
example - use DCV. To measure alternating current, such as a wall outlet, use ACV.
Step 3
Choose the range setting. The dial may have options from 5 to 1000 on the DCV side and 10 to 1000 on the
ACV side. The setting should be the top end of the voltage you are reading. Not all voltmeters have this setting.
Step 4
Turn the meter on.
Step 5
Hold the probes by the insulated handles and touch the red probe to the positive side of a DC circuit or either
side
of an AC circuit. Touch the other side with the black probe.
Step 6
Read the digital display or analog dial.
