Making

Measurements

 
 

Introduction

 

 

                                      

WARNING

 

To

avoid

user

for

injury and the multimeter for damage, the voltge value

of

AC

power

must

be

examined

with

same

the

power

requirements

of

multimeter

before

connect

power

cord

to

live

power

source

and

the

switch

is

turned

on

.

 

Before

making

any

measurements

always

examine

the

multimeter

and

accessories

used

with

the

multimeter

for

damage

,

contamination

(

excessive

dirt

,

grease

,

ect.)  and defects

.

Examine

the

test

leads

for

cracked

or

frayed

insulation

and

make

sure

the

lead

plugs

fit

snugly

into

the

multimeter

jacks

.

If

any

abnormal

exist

do

not

attempt

to

make

any

measurements

.
