AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may
not be long enough to contact the live parts inside some
240V outlets for appliances because the contacts are
recessed deep in the outlets. As a result, the reading
may show 0 volts when the outlet actually has voltage on
it. Make sure the probe tips are touching the metal
contacts inside the outlet before assuming that no
voltage is present.
CAUTION: Do not measure AC voltages if a motor on
the circuit is being switched ON or OFF. Large voltage
surges may occur that can damage the meter.
1.
Set the function switch to the highest V AC position.
2.
Insert the black test lead banana plug
into the negative (COM) jack.
Insert red test lead banana plug into the
positive (V) jack.
3.
Touch the black test probe tip to the
negative side of the circuit.
Touch the red test probe tip to the
positive side of the circuit.
4.
Read the voltage in the display. Reset the function switch
to successively lower V AC positions to obtain a higher
resolution reading. The display will indicate the proper
decimal point and value.
