D. MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES 1. Controls and Functions: Push Buttons Turns the 133 on and off. Data-H Activates the Data Hold function. Rotary Switch Used for measurement of DC Volts. Select the best range for the voltage to be measured. Used for measurement of AC Volts. Select the best range for the voltage to be measured.
Plug black test lead into the COM input jack. Plug red test lead into V input jack. Set the rotary switch on the 133 to the desired range in the DCV function depending on the voltage to be measured. Connect test leads to circuit to be measured.
b. Measuring AC Volts CAUTION! Do not attempt to make a voltage measurement if a test lead is plugged in the A or µmA input jack. Instrument damage and/or personal injury may result. WARNING! Do not attempt to make a voltage measurement of more than 1000V or of a voltage level that is unknown.
2. Plug black test lead into COM input jack. 3. Plug red test lead into V input jack. 4. Set the rotary switch on the 133 to the desired range in the ACV function depending on the voltage to be measured.

Application Notes When measuring resistance of a motor, make sure the power is disconnected prior to testing. Set up the meter following steps under “Measurement Procedure” on page 17, and then proceed with the following: • Connect the red test lead to one power input line of the motor and the black test lead to the other power input line of the motor.
Plug black test lead into the COM input jack. Plug red test lead into the V input jack. Set the rotary switch on the 133 to the desired range in the OHM function depending on the voltage to be measured.
Plug the black test lead into the COM input jack. Plug the red test lead into the V input jack. Set the rotary switch on the 133 to the position. Connect the black test lead to the banded end of the diode and the red test lead to the non-banded end of the diode.
Plug the black test lead into the COM input jack. Plug the red test lead into the V input jack. Set the rotary switch on the 133 to the position. Connect the test leads to the circuit to be measured.
