Multimeter Measurements

Task → mode, probes, steps

Mode

V⎓ (200m/2/20/200/1000)

Probes

COM — black, VΩ — red. Parallel to the load.

Steps

  1. Start at the highest range if unknown
  2. Red probe on '+', black on '−'
  3. Minus sign = reversed polarity — harmless

⚠ Never measure mains in V⎓ mode — that's AC!
