Isn't this a bit basic stuff to asking on a HVAC news group? I'm not
sure I can explain it over the internet. You'd be better served to log
onto www.google.com and type in "using a volt meter" without the
quotes.

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

So......Basic HVAC shit can't be explained by *you*
on the internet.


Doesn't that give you a clue?

Close your eyes and then touch both wires onto your tongue.

No effect= Zero voltage is present.

Major tingling affect and even lights up the backside of your eyeballs quite
a bit= appx 24 volts.

Lights all suddenly go out and you wake up at the pearly gates= YOU PICKED
THE FUCKING WRONG WIRES.
