Basic Measurements XW Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a diode junction. This section is about how to make basic measurements with the Multimeter. When you connect the test leads to the circuit or device, always: • Connect the common (COM) test lead before the live lead. • Remove the live test lead before the common test lead.

Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, disconnect power and
discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
you measure resistance, continuity,
capacitance, or a diode junction.
This section is about how to make basic measurements with
the Multimeter.
When you connect the test leads to the circuit or device,
always:
•
Connect the common (COM) test lead before the live lead.
•
Remove the live test lead before the common test lead.
Basic measurements and tests:
•
AC and DC Voltage Measurements. See Figure 4.
•
Volts/Hertz Ratio. See Figure 6.
•
Resistance Measurements. See Figure 7.
•
Capacitance Measurements. See Figure 8.
•
Continuity Test. See Figure 9.
•
AC Current Measurements. See Figure 10.
•
Diode Test. See Figure 11.
•
Frequency Measurements. See Figure 12.
AC and DC Voltage Measurements
To set the dc or ac range:
1.
Turn the rotary dial to
.
See Figure 4.
2.
Push
to toggle the voltage between millivolts dc and
millivolts ac.
3.
Push
to scroll through each range.
