TURNING THE DIGITAL MULTIMETER ON OR OFF

  • Turning on is done by turning the rotary switch to the appropriate function.
  • Turning off is done by turning the rotary switch to the OFF position

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

  1. Set the rotary switch to the proper DC voltage range. If the voltage to be measured is not known beforehand, set the rotary switch at the highest range position and then reduce it until a satisfactory resolution is obtained.
  2. Connect the red test lead to the “VΩmA“-terminal and the black test lead to the “COM”-terminal.
  3. Connect the tips of the probes to the load, source, or the circuit being measured.
  4. Read the displayed value. The polarity of the red test lead connection will be indicated.

DC CURRENT MEASUREMENT

  1. Turn off the power of the measured circuit. Discharge all the high-voltage capacitors.
  2. To avoid damage to the Digital Multimeter or injury if the fuse blows, never attempt an in-circuit current measurement where the open-circuit potential to earth is greater than 250V. To avoid damage to the Digital Multimeter, use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurement. Never place the test leads in parallel with a circuit or component when the leads are plugged into the current terminals.
  3. Set the rotary switch at the desired DC Ampere range position.
  4. Connect the red test lead to the “VΩmA”-terminal and the black test lead to the “COM”-terminal. (For measurements between 200mA and 10A, connect the red lead to the “10A“-terminal.)
  5. Break the circuit path to be measured. Connect the black test lead probe tip to the more negative side of the break; connect the red test lead probe tip to the more positive side of the break. (Reversing the leads will give a negative reading, but will not damage the Digital Multimeter.)
  6. Turn on the power of the measured circuit.
  7. Read the current value on the LCD display along with the polarity of the red lead connection.
  8. Turn off the power of the measured circuit and discharge all the high-voltage capacitors. Remove the test leads and recover the measured circuit.

AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

  1. Set the rotary switch to the proper ac voltage range. If the voltage to be measured is not known beforehand, set the rotary switch at the highest range position and then reduce it until a satisfactory resolution is obtained.
  2. Connect the red test lead to the “VΩmA“-terminal and the black test lead to the “COM”-terminal.
  3. Connect the tips of the probes to the load, source, or the circuit being measured.
  4. Read the displayed value.

RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT

  1. If the resistance being measured is connected to a circuit, turn off the power and discharge all capacitors before applying the test probes.
  2. Set the rotary switch at the desired “Ω” range position.
  3. Connect the red test lead to the “VΩmA”- terminal and the black test lead to the “COM”- terminal.
  4. Connect the tips of the probes across the resistor to be measured and read the displayed value.

DIODE TEST
Use the diode test to check diodes and other semiconductor devices. The diode test sends a current through the semiconductor junction and then measures the voltage drop across the junction; a good silicon junction drops between 0.5V and 0.8V.

  1. To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing diodes.
  2. Set the rotary switch at the “ ” position
  3. Connect the red test lead to the “VΩmA”-terminal and the black test lead to the “COM“ terminal (The polarity of the red lead is positive “+”.)
  4. Connect the red test lead probe tip to the anode of the diode to be tested and the black test lead probe tip to the cathode of the diode. The approx. forward voltage drop of the diode will be displayed.
  5. If the connection is reversed, only figure “1“will be shown.

TRANSISTOR TEST

  1. Disconnect the test leads from any measurement circuits.
  2. Set the rotary switch at the “hFE” position.
  3. Determine whether the transistor under testing is NPN or PNP and locate the emitter, base, and collector leads. Insert the leads of the transistor into the proper holes of the hFE socket on the front panel.
  4. Read the approximate hFE value at the test condition of base current 10uA and Vce 3V.

CONTINUITY CHECK

A continuity test is available to check the open/short of a circuit. Continuity is a complete path for the current flow. The beeper sounds if a circuit is complete.

  1. To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, disconnect the circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing for continuity.
  2. Set the rotary switch at the “ ” position.
  3. Connect the red test lead to the “VΩmA”- terminal and the black test lead to the “COM”- terminal.
  4. Connect the test lead probe tips to two points of the circuit. If continuity exists (less than 1.5K Ω), the built-in buzzer will sound.
