7. How to make measurements
Warning!
When you connect the test probes to an AC outlet, do not turn the rotary
selector switch to another range. It could damage the meter´s internal
components or injure you.
Understanding Phantom readings
In some DC and AC voltage ranges, when the test leads are not
connected to any circuit, the display might show a phantom reading.
This is normal. The meter´s high input sensitivity produces a wandering
effect. When you connect the test leads to a circuit, accurate reading
appears.
7.1. Voltage measurements
1. Insert the black and red test leads into the COM and V/
/
CAP/Hz- input terminals respectively.
2. Select the desired AC voltage range (V ~), or
DC voltage range (V
).
Warning!
To avoid possible electric shock, instrument damage and/or equipment
damage, do not attempt to take any voltage measurements if the voltage
is above 600V DC / AC. 600V DC and AC are the maximum voltages,
that this instrument is designed to measure.
3. Connect the test lead tips in parallel with the circuit to be
measured (e.g. across a load or power supply). Be careful
not to touch any energized conductors. Note the reading.
4. When all measurements are complete, disconnect the test leads
from the circuit under test. Remove the leads from the multimeter.
For DC voltage readings, the RED lead tip should be connected to
the positive side of the circuit, the BLACK lead to the negative side.
A minus sign on the left hand of the LCD will appear if the leads are
connected the other way round.
