Ac Voltage Measurement - Beta 1760 B Mode D'emploi

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 on it. 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 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 switch to the VAC position.
2 Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack and the red test lead banana
plug into the positive (V) jack.
3 Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.
4 Read the voltage in the display. The display will indicate the proper decimal point, value and
symbol (AC, V, etc.).
