4.0 OPERATION
This meter is designed with probe holders to allow for
maximum versatility and single hand testing. Fig. 1
When using the test leads, the tester will automatically activate when
connected to AC or DC voltage. The tester will automatically select
the proper function.
4.1 Measuring DC Voltage Levels Measure the voltage by touching
the test lead tips to the circuit where the value of voltage is needed. If
the "+" test lead is on the positive contact the +VDC light will
illuminate. If the "+" test lead is on the negative contact the -VDC light
will illuminate. Fig. 1
Read the voltage level from the DC voltage scale.
4.2 Measuring AC Voltage Levels
Measure the voltage by touching the test lead tips to the circuit where
the value of voltage is needed. Both polarity indicators will illuminate
to indicate AC Voltage. Fig. 2
Read the level from the AC voltage scale. The polarity of the leads
does not matter for AC voltage measurements.
