Understanding the interface of the Craftsman 82082 ensures quick and precise setup. The Rotary Dial
Choose a range higher than the expected value. For example, use the setting to test a 120V household outlet. Common Measurements How to Measure Resistance with a Multimeter
: Measures electrical resistance and includes an audible continuity test to check for broken wires or closed switches.
-mA Port : The standard red jack for measuring voltage, resistance, and low current (up to 200mA).
Used to check fuses, heating elements, and resistors.
3.5-digit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with a maximum reading of 1999.
The positive input for voltage, resistance, continuity, diode, and low-current (milliamp) measurements. The red test lead goes here for 95% of tasks.
The black test lead always plugs into this jack. V/ Ωcap omega
For currents under 200mA, plug the red lead into . For currents between 200mA and 10A, plug the red lead into the 10A jack. Set the dial to the corresponding A ⎓ range.
: Never apply voltage or current exceeding the maximum specified limits (e.g., 600V for voltage). Switching Modes
Common (Ground) input for all measurements (Black lead). Hold Button: Freezes the current reading on the screen. 3. How to Measure Voltage (AC/DC) The Craftsman 82082 can measure DC voltage (up to 600V600 cap V ) and AC voltage (up to 600V600 cap V Plug the black lead into COM and the red lead into V Ωcap omega mA . Set the rotary switch to the appropriate DCV ( ) or ACV (
Move the red probe here for high-current measurements above 200mA. 3. How to Perform Common Measurements Measuring Voltage (e.g., a 120V Outlet) Set the selector dial to the 200V AC setting (under VAC).
