6.8 Voltage (AC/DC), VFD, and Frequency (Hz) Measurements 
 
Fig. 6-2(a) AC Voltage/HZ Measurements 
1.  Set the function switch to one of the following positions: 
   (VDC) or   (VAC) for high voltage 
measurements. Short press MODE to 
switch to VFD mode for VAC 
measurements. Press again to exit. 
   (milli-volts) for low voltage 
measurements. Short press MODE to select 
AC or DC for milli-volt measurements. 
2.  The   indicator appears for AC 
measurements. The   indicator appears 
for DC measurements. 
3.  Insert the black probe lead into the 
negative COM terminal and the red probe 
lead into the positive terminal. 
4.  Connect the probe leads in parallel to the 
part under test. 
5.  Read the measured voltage value on the 
display. The meter defaults to Auto Range 
mode. To use Manual Range mode: short 
press the Range button or refer to Section 
6.1, Auto/Manual Range Modes. 
6.  If ‘OL’ appears, the signal being measured is out of the 
range of the meter’s capability. In this case, stop the 
test immediately and review the application. 
7.  Short press the HOLD button to freeze/unfreeze the 
displayed reading. 
8.  To view the Frequency (Hz) of the measured AC 
voltage, long press the Hz button. Long press again to 
return to the voltage measurement. 
9.  For additional functionality, refer to Section 6.5, MIN-
MAX-AVG Mode and Section 6.6, Relative Mode.
