The voltage will vary with the type of metal the probe is made from !
There are tables like this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_ ... data_page)
which define the standard electrode potentials. Most meter probes will be some form of plated metal the exact plating however will vary and hence the voltage that appears.

Re: Haydn coolant alarm, how long should the test beep be
All very true....also bare in mind that unless you have a quality voltmeter that has been regularly tested to standard and the individual error recorded, the chances of being accurate to measure +/- 0.4 volt are pretty hit and miss.
