I have a humidifier installed on my furnace. I have an electronic 24
volt water valve that shuts on and off when the pacific transformer
class 2 sends the voltage.I have a multimeter to check the voltage at
the transformer to see if it is working properly. There are two wires
connected to the transformer going to the electronic water valve.I
tried connecting my multimeter one lead to each wire but have no
reading. I know the valve is working because when I disconnect the wire
at the water valve the valve closes.How do I properly connect my leads
from my multimeter to the transformer to get a reading?I am trying to
determine if the voltage is shut off or is letting some voltage leak
by.The reason for all of this I installed a new water valve and when
the water valve shuts or tries to shut it is making my water line
vibrate vigorously. I guess the main thing I want to know is how to
check the voltage at the transformer.
Thanks
Jack

        No, the main thing you want to know is WTF 'water hammer' is,
and how to fix it.

        Go look it up.
