The presence of a DC component falsifies the measurement.
• Reminder: measurement of AC voltage may be expressed in decibels
Decibels
(dB). A decibel is the ratio between two measurements or levels. Level
N in dB for U voltage is mathematically expressed as:
U
600Ω.
• Use : The zero level on the red range in dB corresponds to U
for calibre of 5V
(from -6 to +22dB). For the other calibres, it is possible to read in dB
(approximate value) by adding respectively :

connecting the multimeter to the circuit. If the "Fus" LED is on, change the
faulty fuse(s). (Reminder: minimum voltage for LED = 110V).
Connect the leads to the multimeter and connect in series in the circuit
with:
Cut power supply before switching.
To obtain intensity in µA, mA or A, multiply the value on the appropriate
scale by the reading coefficient indicated in the table.
