For DC voltage and currents, set the meter to the DC parameter instead of AC as shown to the left. For all ranges and functions choose range just above value
you expect. If display reads "OL" or "-OL" (overload), select a higher range. If display shows less than three numbers, select a lower range for better resolution.

Optional accessory heads
Fieldpiece accessory heads convert the desired
parameter into a millivolt signal. For example, the

The multimeter must then be set to read millivolts
