Measuring Voltage - Ideal 61-557 Manual Del Usuario

Measuring AC ( ) or DC ( ) Voltage
AC V LoZ Setting*
*Note: When measuring AC voltage, Ghost or stray voltages (caused by
induced voltages coupling from one parallel conductor to the next as found when
measuring one conductor in multiple conductor circuits) may cause an incorrect
value. Selecting the Low impedance position (LoZ) on the dial, (see inset above)
while measuring voltage with the 61-557 will defeat the influence of Ghost or Stray
voltage.
The probe holders on the back may be used to correctly space the two probes to
access a standard outlet for Voltage measurements between the hot and neutral.
Remove the protective caps to expose the probe tips and be sure to reinstall them
when finished.
