User Manual

Follow these steps to measure DC/AC Voltage.
1. Set the rotary selector to the V position. Select the
range as required for the voltage level to be measured. If
you do not know the voltage level, start with the range
switch set to the highest voltage position and reduce the
setting as needed to get a reading.
2. Press
°
))) to select between DC and AC.
3. Plug the black test lead into the meter’s COM terminal and
the red test lead into the V//Hz/ -terminal.
4. Connect the test leads to the DC/AC voltage source you
want to measure.
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.
6.2. Measuring DC/AC Current
WARNINGS!
* Do not apply voltage directly across the terminals. You must
connect the meter in series with the circuit.
* The 10A terminal is fused. A severe fire hazard and short circuit
danger exists if you apply a voltage with high-current capability
to this terminal. The meter can be destroyed under such
conditions.
To measure current, break the circuit and connect the probes to two
circuit connection points. Never connect the probes across a
voltage source in parallel. Doing so can blow the fuse or damage
the circuit under test.
Note: The maximum input current is 400µA, 400mA or 10A
depending on the terminal used. In these ranges excessive current
blows the fuses, which you must replace.
