Ac Voltage Measurements; Dc Voltage Measurements - Craftsman 82354 Owner's Manual

AC 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 present.
Make sure the probe tips are touching the metal contacts inside the outlet
before assuming that no voltage is present.
CAUTION: Do not measure AC voltage if a motor on the circuit is being
switched ON or OFF. Large surges may occur that can damage the
meter.
1. Set the function dial to the V position.
2. Use the FUNC button to select AC.
3. Insert the black test lead banana
plug into the negative jack at the
bottom of the meter.
4. Unscrew the retracting nut
(clockwise) to draw out the positive
test lead.
5. Touch the black test probe tip to the
neutral side of the circuit.
6. Touch the positive test probe tip to the "hot" side of circuit.
7. Read the voltage on the display. The meter automatically selects the
optimum range or the user may manually select a range using the
RANGE button.

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

CAUTION: Do not measure DC voltages if a motor on the circuit is being
switched ON or OFF. Large voltage surges may occur that can damage
the meter.
1. Set the function dial to the V
position.
2. Use the FUNC button to select
DC.
3. Insert the black test lead banana
plug into the negative jack at the
bottom of the meter.
4. Carefully turn the positive test lead retracting nut (located at the top
of the meter) clockwise to completely draw out the positive test lead
probe.
5. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit.
6. Touch the positive test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit.
7. Read the voltage on the display. The meter automatically selects
the optimum range or the user may manually select a range using
the RANGE button.
