Ac Voltage Measurements - Craftsman 82312 Owner's Manual

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 600 VAC 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 neutral side of the
circuit.
4. Touch the red test probe tip
to the "hot" side of circuit.
5. Read the voltage in the
display.
