The presence of a DC component falsifies the measurement.
• Reminder: measurement of AC voltage may be expressed in decibels
(dB). A decibel is the ratio between two measurements or levels. Level
N in dB for U voltage is mathematically expressed as:
U
is reference voltage 0,775V
0
600Ω.
• Use : The zero level on the red range in dB corresponds to U
for calibre of 5V
(from -6 to +22dB). For the other calibres, it is possible to read in dB
(approximate value) by adding respectively :

Always cut the power supply on the circuit to be controlled before
connecting the multimeter to the circuit. If the "Fus" LED is on, change the
faulty fuse(s). (Reminder: minimum voltage for LED = 110V).
Connect the leads to the multimeter and connect in series in the circuit
with:
- the red lead in terminal "A", up to 1.5A,
- the red lead in the "10A" terminal for 10ADC and AC calibre.
Cut power supply before switching.
To obtain intensity in µA, mA or A, multiply the value on the appropriate
scale by the reading coefficient indicated in the table.
