Basic Measurements
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, disconnect power and
discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
you measure resistance, continuity,
capacitance, or a diode junction.
This section is about how to make basic measurements with
the Multimeter.
When you connect the test leads to the circuit or device,
always:
• Connect the common (COM) test lead before the live lead.
• Remove the live test lead before the common test lead.
Basic measurements and tests:
• AC and DC Voltage Measurements. See Figure 4.
• Volts/Hertz Ratio. See Figure 6.
• Resistance Measurements. See Figure 7.
• Capacitance Measurements. See Figure 8.
• Continuity Test. See Figure 9.
• AC Current Measurements. See Figure 10.
• Diode Test. See Figure 11.
• Frequency Measurements. See Figure 12.
AC and DC Voltage Measurements
To set the dc or ac range:
1. Turn the rotary dial to . See Figure 4.
2. Push to toggle the voltage between millivolts dc and
millivolts ac.
3. Push
 to scroll through each range.
