5.2. Using the stand
Use your meter’s stand to prop up the meter. If you prop your
meter on a bench-top, the stand helps provide a better viewing
angle.
To use the stand as a prop, just open it away from the meter and
set it on a flat surface.
6. How to make measurements
Understanding Phantom readings:
In some DC and AC voltage ranges, when the test leads are not
connected to any circuit, the display might show a phantom
reading. This is normal. The meter’s high input sensitivity
produces a wandering effect. When you connect the test leads
to a circuit, accurate reading appear.
6.1. Measuring AC/DC voltage
WARNING!
Do not try to measure a voltage greater than 600 V DC or AC.
You might damage your meter and expose yourself to a severe
shock hazard.
Follow these steps to measure DC/AC Voltage.
1. Set the rotary selector to the desired position. Select the
range as required for the voltage level to be measured. If
you do not know the voltage level, start with the range switch
set to the highest voltage position and reduce the setting as
needed to get a reading.
2. Plug the black test lead into the meter’s COM terminal and
the red test lead into the V//Hz-terminal.
