4. Connect the test leads to the circuit to
be tested.
5. Reapply power to the circuit, the
measured voltage will appear on the
display of the instrument.
6. If the red test lead is connected to the
negative (or lower voltage) side of the
circuit, a minus sign will appear on the
display, at the left side.
7. Disconnect power to the circuit before
removing the test leads from the circuit.
Three-Phase AC Volts:
This Meter is designed to primarily measure
household AC voltage. When measuring
THREE-PHASE circuits line-to-line, the value
of the voltage is actually higher than the
rated line-to-ground 3-phase voltage.
It is very important that you do not exceed
the maximum AC (RMS) rating of this
Meter, which is 750V AC. To find the RMS
voltage line-to-line on a 3-phase power line,
multiply the rated line-to-ground voltage by
the square root of 3 (approx. 1.732).
For example, if you connect this Meter to
a 480 Volts 3-phase line (i.e. 480 V line-to-
ground), the total available line-to-line
voltage is about 832 V AC (
Severe damage and a dangerous shock
hazard could result because this exceeds the
rating of this Meter.
