b. Measuring AC Volts
Instrument set-up:
FUNCTION
CAUTION
Do not attempt to make a voltage measurement if a test
lead is plugged in the A or umA input jack. Instrument
damage and/or personal injury may result.
Do not attempt to make a voltage measurement of more
than 750V(1000V-Only 194) or of a voltage level than is
unknown.
Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2. Plug black test lead into

CAUTION
Do not attempt to make a current measurement with the
test leads connected in parallel with the circuit to be
tested. Test leads must be connected in series with the
circuit.
Do not attempt to make a current measurement of circuits
with more than 600V(1000V-Only 194) present. Instrument
damage and/or personal injury may result.
