Operating Instructions; Dc Voltage Measurements - Craftsman 82005 Owner's Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Risk of electrocution. High-voltage circuits,
both AC and DC, are very dangerous and should be
measured with great care.
NOTES:
1. ALWAYS turn the Function switch to the OFF position
when the meter is not in use.
2. If " 1 " appears in the display during a measurement, the
value exceeds the range you have selected. Change to a
higher range.

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. The probe tips may not
be long enough to contact the live parts inside some 240V
outlets for appliances because the contacts are recessed
deep in the outlets. As a result, the reading may show 0
volts when the outlet actually has voltage on it. Make sure
the probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the
outlet before assuming that no voltage is present.
1. Set the function switch to the V
position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into
the negative COM jack.
Insert the red test lead banana plug into the
positive V jack.
3. Touch the black test probe tip to the
negative side of the circuit.
Touch the red test probe tip to the positive
side of the circuit.
4. Read the voltage in the display.
