Making Measurements and Tests
All measurements and tests are made by first setting the rotary selector switch to a
function setting (so that the meter is put in the default measurement function) and
then selecting a measurement from the menukeys. Note that not all function knob
settings have corresponding menukey settings.
For example, the steps below show how to make an ac voltage measurement.
1.
Set the rotary selector switch to position for voltage measurements.
Then, the meter is set to the default dc voltage measurement mode.
2.
Select the menukey 2 for ac voltage measurement.
3.
Connect the test leads to the measurement points.
4. BASIC METER FUNCTIONS
4-1. Voltage (V)
1. Set rotary selector to position.
The meter defaults at DC.
2. Press menukey 2 momentarily t o
select AC, and press
t w i c e
to sel ect H z in t he secondary
display, if required.
3. Insert red lead into V terminal and
black lead into COM terminal.
4. Touch black probe t o ground or
negativ e s ide of the circ ui t and
touch red probe to positive side of
the circuit coming from the power
source.
5. Set rot ary selector to position
for voltage application below 0.4 V
with similar operation procedures.
6. Ref er t o 4-2 f or c onvenient dual
display RPM function.
NOTE: Vol tage must be measured

useful for t rend setting or direc tional
data.
