If meter reads approximately 96 volts - the primary to secondary are in phase - if reads approximately 144 volts out of phase
- reverse low voltage wires.

These then should be wired to the furnace accordingly.
Some transformers will display phasing symbols as shown
in the illustration to the left to assist in determining proper
transformer phasing.
