b) Direct and Alternating Voltage Measurement
Do not exceed the maximum permitted input values, not even when bearing
overlaid direct voltages (e.g. ripple voltages).
Proceed as follows to measure voltages:
- Switch on the DMM at the
dial switch (1) and select the
measuring range "VDC" for
direct voltage or "VAC" for alter-
nate voltage. The display shows
the „DC or "AC".
- Insert the measuring lines into
the measuring jacks.
- Connect the two measuring
prods to the object to be meas-
ured (battery, circuit, etc.).
- The measuring value is shown
on the display (2).
The voltage range "V DC/AC" has an input resistance of >7.5 MOhm. Once a minus "-"
appears in front of the measured value for direct voltage, the measured voltage is
negative (or the measuring lines are swapped). If OL appears, the measuring range
was exceeded
