●
Take the meter zero-adjustment.
Select an appropriate range in reference to "4-1. Range Switch".
To avoid reading error, read the meter scale from directly above the meter
pointer where the pointer and its image in the mirror overlap each other. (see
"4-3. Meter Mirror)
Do not measure in the strong magnetic field or on the iron plate to prevent
noise affect to the meter reading or meter sensitivity.
WARNING
Insert black test lead to −COM terminal, and insert red test lead to ＋terminal.
Set RANGE Switch to a necessary measurement range in AC.V.
NOTE :
Connect black test lead to −(earth) side of the circuit being measured and
connect red test lead to ＋(positive) side.
NOTE : Connect the instrument IN PARALLEL to the circuit.
