Warning  
To prevent possible electric shock or personal 
injury, do not use the VFD Low-Pass Filter 
function to verify the presence of hazardous 
voltages. Voltages that are greater than what is 
indicated may be present. First, make a voltage 
measurement without the filter to detect the 
possible presence of hazardous voltage. Then, 
select the filter function. 
Note 
When using the VFD Low-Pass filter function, the 
Meter goes to Manual mode. Select ranges by 
pressing the r button. Autoranging is not 
available with the Low-Pass filter function.

Basic Measurements 
The figures on the following pages show how to make 
basic measurements.  
When connecting the test leads to the circuit or device, 
connect the common (COM) test lead before connecting 
the live lead; when removing the test leads, remove the 
live lead before removing the common test lead. 
Warning 
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or 
personal injury: 
•  Disconnect circuit power and discharge all 
high-voltage capacitors before you 
measure resistance, continuity, 
capacitance, or a diode junction. 
•  Remove circuit power before you connect 
the Product in the circuit when you 
measure current. Connect the Product in 
series with the circuit. 
For better accuracy when measuring the dc offset of an ac 
voltage, measure the ac voltage first. Note the ac voltage 
range, then manually select a dc voltage range equal to or 
higher than the ac range. This procedure improves the 
accuracy of the dc measurement by ensuring that the input 
protection circuits are not activated.
