i just want to use for ie check,how many volts in powercap/or 12v lead some were i could use

i do electrical installation at work and ill be a qualified electrician in a few weeks just a quick note if you set the meter up wrong and measure in amps instead of voltage for example you can actually blow the meter up and it can cause serious injury so be careful car batterys are DC right so you would set it on (dcv 20) as car batterys are only 12-15v

the positive goes in to the 10v (top hole) the negative in to the bottom hole, turn the dial from the off position backwards to the section DCV 20 - this will allow u to measure the voltage you require - to test it and not damage the multimeter use a aa battery and as u know u should get 1.5 on the display.

When u put it on to the capacitor if u get a 1 symbol this means it out of measuring range therefor turn it up to 200. this should not be the case. and you should get a reading of 12v or what your trying to measure.

Why do u want to check this - are u having problems wih it working? - are u trying to install it in to a present system you have?
