AC Voltage measurement
Attention: Hazardous voltage! The probes may not be long enough to
touch the hot parts in some 230V wall sockets as they are deep inside. As
a result, the reading can show 0 volts. Make sure that the probes touch
the metallic contacts in the socket before assuming that voltage has not
been applied.
Attention: Avoid voltage measuring in electrical circuits while motors are
switched on or off. The stress-spikes can damage the instrument.
1. Set the rotary switch to the V
AC
- Position
2. Attach the pin-plug of the black test lead to the COM-jack and the
pin-plug of the red test lead to the V-, A-, Ω-jack.
3. Connect the black test prod to the negative pole and the red test prod to
the positive pole of the circuit to be tested.
4. Once the reading stabilizes, read the value. If the polarity is twisted a
"Minus sign" is displayed. Use the HOLD function if the reading is difficult
to read.
DC current measurement / AC Current measurement
1. Attach the pin-plug of the black test lead to the COM-jack and the
pin-plug of the red test lead to the V-, A-, Ω-jack.
2. Press the MODE button to select the desired function.
3. Switch off the power source and open the circuit to be tested at the
position you are going to measure the current.
4. Connect the black test prod to the negative pole and the red test prod to
the positive pole of the circuit to be tested.
5. Once the reading stabilizes, read the value. If the polarity is twisted a
"Minus sign" is displayed. Use the HOLD function if the reading is difficult
to read.
