It is often necessary to measure the AC component of a voltage consisting of a
mixture of AC and DC voltages, as in amplifier circuits. The 260s have a 0.1 µf,
400V capacitor in series with the OUTPUT jack. The capacitor blocks the DC
component of the voltage in the test circuit, but passes the AC component. The
blocking capacitor alters the AC response of each Instrument at low frequencies.
When using the OUTPUT mode, do not connect the Instrument to a circuit whose
DC voltage component exceeds 350 volts.

have been discharged.
Connect the test lead across the voltage source with the black lead on the
ground side.
Turn on the power in the circuit being measured and read the voltage on the
red scale marked AC.
For the 0-2.5V range, read the value directly on the red scale marked 2.5V
AC. For the 10V, 25V, 100V, 250V and 500V ranges, read the red scale marked
AC and use the black figures immediately above the scale. For the 10V and
250V ranges, read directly using the 0-10 and 0-250 figures respectively. For
the 500V range, read directly on the 0-50 figures and multiply the reading by
10. For the 100V range, read the 0-10 figures directly and multiply the read-
ing by 10. For the 25V range, use the 0-250 figures and divide by 10.
Turn power off, disconnect the test leads and return the range switch to the
OFF/TRANSIT position.
Set the function switch to AC.
Set the range switch to 1000V (dual position with 500V).
1000V jack.
Be sure the power is off in the circuit being measured and that all its capaci-
tors have been discharged. Connect the test leads to the circuit with the black
lead on the ground side.
Turn on the power in the circuit being measured.
Read the voltage on the red scale marked AC. Use the 0-10 figures and
multiply by 100.
Turn power off, disconnect the test leads and return the range switch to the
OFF/TRANSIT position.

The voltage and current accuracy of this Instrument is commonly expressed as a
percent of full scale. This should not be confused with accuracy of reading (indica-
tion). For example, +2% of full scale on the 10 volt range allows an error of ±0.20V
at any point on the dial. This means that at full scale, the accuracy of the reading
would be ±2%, but at half scale it would be ±4%. Therefore, it is advantageous to
select a range which gives an indication as near as possible to full scale.
