If you're
uncertain about the level of voltage,
start
with 1 000
volt range
as stated on step 5. Then set
the range
doubler switch
to V-A/2
posi-
tion (now 500V range), etc.
3.
Connect the test
probe tips to
the circuit
under test;
be
sure to
observe
correct polarity. Set
the range
and the range
doubler switches as
re-
quired to obtain
a meter
reading in the
upper 1
12
or 1 /3rd of the
scale.
4. Read
the voltage on the
black DC scales.
If the range doubler switch is
in the V-A/2
position, be sure to
divide the range
switch setting by
2
and read
on the appropriate
scale.
5.
For voltages between 250
and
1000,
set
the range switch to 250 & 1000
and plug the red test
lead into the 1000
Volt
DC
only
jack.
For volt-
ages between
250 and
500,
set
the range
doubler
switch
to V-A/2. (The
range
is
then
500
volts.)
For voltages
between 500 and
1000,
set
the
range
doubler switch to V-f2-A.
(The itange is
then
1000
volts.)
Note: The
1000 Volt DC
only jack is
for use only with DC
voltages of
250 to
1000.
USE EXTREME
CARE
WHEN "USING
THESE HIGH-VOLTAGE
RANGES.
AC
VOLTAGE
MEASUREMENTS
1. Plug the test leads into
the correct jacks
(black into
©
COM and
red
into
©
V-ft-A).
2.
Set the
range switch to one of the
ACV positions; it is
best
to
start at
the top
and work
down.
3.
Connect the test
probe tips to
the circuit under test. Set the range
and
the range doubler
switches as
required to obtain a meter reading in
the
upper
1/2
or 1/3rd of
the scale.
4. Read
the voltage on
the red AC scale,
following black numbers printed
below the red scale.
If the range
doubler switch is in the V-A/2 posi-
tion, be
sure
to
divide the range
switch setting by 2
and read the appro-
priate scale.
