b) Voltage Measuring “V”
Proceed as follows to measure direct voltages (V ):
- Switch on the DMM and select the respective measuring range
“V DC”.
- Plug the red measuring line into the V measuring jack (6) and the
black measuring line into the COM measuring jack (5).
- Connect the two measuring prods to the object to be measured
(battery, circuit, etc.). The red measuring prod indicates the positive
pole, the black measuring prod the negative pole.
- The current measured value is indicated on the display.
- Remove the measuring lines from the object to be measured after
completion of the measurement and switch off the DMM.
If a minus “-” appears in front of the measured value for direct voltage, the measured voltage is negative (or
the measuring lines are swapped).
The voltage range “V DC” has an input resistance of >1 MOhm.
Proceed as follows to measure alternating voltages “AC” (V ):
- Switch on the DMM and select the respective measuring range “V AC”.
- Plug the red measuring line into the V measuring jack (6) and the black measuring line into the COM measuring
jack (5).
- Connect the two measuring prods to the object to be measured (battery, mains voltage, etc.).
- The current measured value is indicated on the display.
- Remove the measuring lines from the object to be measured after completion of the measurement and switch off
the DMM.
The voltage range V AC” has an input resistance of >1 MΩ.
