Voltage Measurements
Measure conductors carrying up to 750 VAC (50-500 Hz) or 1000 VDC.
1. AC Measurements: Turn the Range Selector Switch to ACV 750.
DC Measurements: Turn the Range Selector Switch to DCV 1000.
2. Plug the red lead into the Volt/Ohm Jack. Plug the black lead into the COM
Jack.
3. Carefully touch the exposed conductors with the tips of the probes to measure
the voltage (not amperes).
4. Read measurement.
5. When testing is complete, switch the multimeter to OFF position, remove
the Test Leads, and store multimeter and test leads in the carrying case.
AC Current Measurements
Measure AC conductors carrying up to 1000 amperes at a frequency 50-60 Hz.
1. Turn the Range Selector Switch to the ACA 1000 position.
The Test Leads should be removed from the multimeter.
2. Press the Transformer Jaws open and position the live (hot) conductor of
the test item in the center of the Jaws for greater accuracy. Close the Jaws
and read the measurement.
3. If the current is less than 200 amperes, set the Range Selector Switch to
the lower range.
4. When testing is complete, switch the multimeter to OFF position and store
multimeter in the carrying case.
Resistance Measurements
Measure circuit resistance up to 20,000 Ohms.
WARNING: NEVER measure resistance on a circuit with voltage running through it.
1. Turn the Range Selector Switch to the 200 Ohms position.
2. Plug the red Test Lead into the Ohms Jack. Plug the black Test Lead into
the Com Jack.
Short the Test Leads together. The meter should read “0” Ohms and you
should hear the continuity buzzer sound.
3. Touch the exposed conductors with the tips of the Test Leads.
4. Read measurement.
5. When testing is complete, switch the multimeter to OFF position, remove
the Test Leads, and store multimeter and test leads in the carrying case.
