Craftsman Digital Multimeter 82082 User Manual
Unlike auto-ranging models, you must manually select the correct range for each measurement using the selector switch. Safety Category: Typically rated for CAT II environments. 2. Setup and Port Usage

Read the screen. If the screen displays an overload or "1", the resistance exceeds the selected range; turn the dial to a higher range. Audible Continuity Testing craftsman digital multimeter 82082 user manual
Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits specified on the front of the meter (typically 600V AC/DC).
Touch the probes to the component. Adjust the dial to a lower range if needed for a more precise reading. Craftsman digital multimeter 82082 user manual Unlike auto-ranging models, you must manually select the
To use the continuity and diode test functions, follow these steps:
Powers down the meter. Always return to this position to save battery life. Setup and Port Usage | Function | Range
The is an excellent tool when used according to its guidelines. By familiarizing yourself with the user manual , you ensure safe, accurate measurements for all your electrical projects.
Place the probes on either end of the wire or fuse you want to test.
Manual ranging (you must select the correct parameter and range using the dial). DC Voltage Range: 200mV to 600V AC Voltage Range: 200V to 600V
To measure current (amps), you will need to break the circuit and place the meter in series with the load. Start by setting the selector dial to the A (amperage) setting. Plug the black probe into the COM jack. For currents up to 200mA (milliamps), use the mA jack; for currents up to 10A, use the 10A jack. Always start with the higher current setting if you are unsure, to avoid blowing the meter's internal fuse.
