d.
Turn OFF power.
e.
Connect the test leads across the cir-
cuit being measured with the black
test lead to the ground side.
f.
Turn on power in the test circuit. Read
the output voltage on the appropri-
ate AC voltage scale. For the 0-2.5V
range, read the value directly on the
scale marked 2.5 VAC. For the 10V,
50V, or 250V ranges, use the red scale
marked AC and read the black fig-
ures immediately above the scale.
4.12 Decibel Measurement (-20 to +50 dB)
Some industries measure in terms of voltage or current ratios (decibels) based
on a specific reference level. The dB scale on the 270 serves this purpose and is
calibrated to a reference level (zero dB) or 0.001 watt into 600 ohms. The scale
calibration of -20 to +10 dB is for the 0-2.5V range (zero dB = 0.775V). Higher
ranges may be used by adding an appropriate dB value to the reading in accor-
dance with chart on the following page.
a.
Review the safety precautions in
paragraph 4.1.
b.
Set the functions switch at AC (figure
4-6).
c.
Plug the black test lead into the -
COMMON jack and the red test lead
into the + jack.
c.
Use operating instructions for AC
VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT, 0-2.5/
10/50/250/500V RANGES (para-
graph 4.9).
Do not use the 500V range for decibel
readings.
d.
Read decibels on the bottom scale
marked dB. For the 10/50/250V
ranges, add the appropriate factor
from the following chart.
