The Meter – 15

The DC side of the meter has multiple ranges. Changing the range up or down just moves the decimal point. Always set you meter to the 200-volt DC range. You’ll never exceed that much voltage.

If the meter was set at 20 volts and you measured 24 volts, you would exceed the range. You may think there is No voltage present.

The DC symbol looks like a solid horizontal line with   _ _ _ below the line.
