MEASURING AC VOLTAGE (see figure 5)
Warning
To avoid harm to you or damages to the Meter from electric shock, please do not attempt
to measure voltages higher than 1000V although readings may be obtained.
The AC Voltage ranges are: 6.000V, 60.00V, 600.0V and 1000V. If over the range, it displays
"OL". To measure AC voltage, connect the Meter as follows:
1. Insert the red test lead into the VΩ
terminal.
2. Set the rotary switch to
3. Connect the test leads across with the object being measured. The measured value shows on
the display.
4. The displayed value is True RMS.
Note:
•
If the value of voltage to be measured is unknown, set the Meter to autoranging or use the
maximum measurement position 1000V and reduce the range step by step until a satisfactory
reading is obtained.
•
In each range, the Meter has an input impedance of 10MΩ. This loading effect can cause
measurement errors in high impedance circuits. If the circuit impedance is less than or equal to 10
kΩ, the error is negligible (0.1% or less).
•
When DC voltage measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between
the testing leads and the circuit under test, and remove the testing leads away fom the input
terminals of the Meter.
