Turn off power to the device or circuit being tested and discharge all capacitors.. Open the circuit in which current is to be measured. Now securely connect test leads in series with the load in which current is to be measured.. Turn on power to the device or circuit being tested.. Read current value on digital display. 7. Turn off all power to the device or circuit being tested and discharge all capacitors. 8. Disconnect test leads from circuit and reconnect circuit that was being tested. 9. For current measurment of 00mA or greater, connect the red test lead to 0 A input terminal & black test lest lead to the COM input terminal. If the resistance being measured is part of a circuit, turn off power to the circuit and discharge all capacitors.. RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS. Connect red test lead to V-V input terminal and black test lead to COM input terminal.. Set Function/ switch to desired V position. If magnitude of resistance is not known, set the switch to highest range and reduce until a satisfactory reading is obtained.. If the resistance being measured is part of a circuit, turn off power to the circuit and discharge all capacitors.. Connect test leads to the device or circuit being measured. When measuring high resistance, be sure not to contact adjacent points even if insulated, because some insulators have a relatively low insulation resistance, causing the measured resistance to be lower than the actual resistance.. Read resistance value on digital display. If a high resistance value is shunted by a large value of capacitance, allow digits to stabilize. NOTE A. All resistance ranges on the DMM, except the 00V and 00MV range, are low-power ohms. This allows accurate measurements of in-circuit resistance because the test voltage is below that is necessary to activate a diode junction B. The 00MV range has a fixed 0-count off set in its reading. When the test leads are shorted together in this range, the meter will display 00 in the 00MV range. This reading must be subtracted in order to obtain a true measurement. For example, when measuring a resistance of 00MV on the 00MV range, the display will read 0.. DIODE AND TRANSISTOR TEST MEASUREMENTS The special Diode Test Function allows relative measurements of forward voltage drops across diodes and transistor junctions. This function also permits measurement of in-circuit semiconductor junctions... DIODE TESTS. Connect red test lead to V-V input terminal and black test lead to COM input terminal.. Set Function/ switch to the diode test position.. If the semiconductor junction being measured is part of to a circuit, turn off power to the circuit and discharge all capacitors.. Connect test leads to the device.. Read forward voltage drop value on digital display.. If the digital display reads overrange () reverse the lead connections. The placement of the test leads when the forward reading is displayed indicates the orientation of the diode. The red lead is positive and the black lead is negative. if overrange () is displayed with both lead connections, the junction is open. If a low-reading (less than,000) is obtained with both lead connections, the junction is shorted internally or (if junction is measured in a circuit) the junction is shunted by a resistance less than KV. In the latter case the junction must be disconnected from the circuit in order to verify its operation... TRANSISTOR JUNCTION TESTS. Bipolar transistors can be tested in the same manner as diode, junctions formed between the base and emitter and the base and collector of the transistor. Measurement between the collector and emitter also should be made to determine if a short is present.. TRANSISTOR hfe MEASUREMENTS. Transistor must be out of circuit. Set the function/range switch to the hfe position.. Plug the emitter, base and collector leads of the transistor into the correct holes in either the NPN or the PNP transistor test socket, whichever is appropriate for the transistor being checked. Read the hfe (beta, or DC current gain) in the display.. CONTINUITY MEASUREMENTS. Set the selectors switch to the ))) position.. Continuity between probe tips will be indicated by an audible beep when resistance is below 00V.. MAINTENANCE. TROUBLESHOOTING If there appears to be a malfunction during the operation of the meter, the following steps should be performed in order to isolate the cause of the problem:. Check the battery.. Review the operating instructions for possible mistakes in operating procedure.. Inspect and test the Test Probes for a broken or intermittent connection.. Inspect and test the fuse. If it is necessary to replace the fuse, be sure to install one of the proper current rating..

Open the bottom cover to the locate the fuse. Replace only with original type of fuse.. PRECAUTIONS. Observe all safety rules while making measurements. CAUTION should be exercised when making measurements since dangerous voltages can be present in normally safe circuit or areas.. Although this instrument is electronically and fuse protected against overloads, care should be taken to avoid excessive and repeated overloads when possible.. It is normal for this instrument digits to wander when on the mv range, since the DC input impedance is a very high. This high input impedance is needed when making accurate low voltage measurements.. If this instrument is NOT going to be operated for an extended period, remove the batteries since damage can result from leakage.. SAFETY RULES WARNING An electrical shock causing 0 miliamps of current to pass through the heart will stop most human heartbeats. Voltage as low as Volts DC or AC rms should be considered dangerous and hazardous since it can produce a fatal current under certain conditions. Higher voltage are even more dangerous. Observe the following safety precautions.. Do not exceed the following input ratings. Personal injury or damage to the instrument may result. DC VOLTS... 000V (DC + AC peak) AC VOLTS... 70V rms OHMS... 0V rms ma... 00mA (fuse protected) 0A... 0A (fuse protected) COM... Do not float more than 000 volts from earth ground.. Always check to make sure test lead plugs are fully inserted into input terminals and the function / range selector switch is set to the proper position.. Never use the multimeter unless the bottom cover is closed.. Remove test leads before replacing battery or fuses, and before performing any servicing on the multimeter.. Turn off equipment while making test connections in high voltage circuits. Discharge high-voltage capacitors after removing power.. For the safest voltage or current measurements in high voltage equipment, do not touch equipment, meter, or test leads while power is applied. 7. If possible, familiarize yourself with the equipment being tested and the location of its high voltage points.

IMPORTANT To avoid heat damage to the meter, keep it away from sources of very high temperature. The life of the temperature probe is also reduced when subjected to very high temperatures. ( Operating is 0 to 00 C ). MAINTENANCE WARNING: Remove test leads before changing batteries or fuse or performing any servicing. Never operate instrument unless bottom cover is closed.. TROUBLESHOOTING If there appears to be a malfunction during the operation of the meter, the following steps should be performed in order to isolate the cause of the problem:. Check the battery.. Review the operating instructions for possible mistakes in operating procedure.. Inspect and test the Test Probes for a broken or intermittent connection.. Inspect and test both the fuses. If it is necessary to replace the fuse, be sure to install one of the proper current rating.. BATTERY AND FUSE REPLACEMENT (Refer Diagram A ) To prevent electrical shock hazard, turn off the multimeter and any device or circuit under test and disconnect the test leads before removing the bottom cover. A. BATTERY REPLACEMENT sign in display indicates LOW BATTERY. There are about 0 hours of operation left after first appears. Open the bottom cover and replace with two fresh.v Eveready type 0 or equivalent battery, observing polarity as marked. Incorrect polarity will cause display to remain blank. To prolong battery life, Switch OFF the POWER when not making measurement. B. FUSE REPLACEMENT If no current measurement is possible, check for blown overload protection fuses. Open the bottom cover to the locate the fuse. Replace only with original type of fuse.. PRECAUTIONS. Observe all safety rules while making measurements. CAUTION should be exercised when making measurements since dangerous voltages can be present in normally safe circuit or areas.. Although this instrument is electronically and fuse protected against overloads, care should be taken to avoid excessive and repeated overloads when possible.. It is normal for this instrument digits to wander when on the mv range, since the DC input impedance is a very high. This high input impedance is needed when making accurate low voltage measurements.. If this instrument is NOT going to be operated for an extended period, remove the battery since damage can result from leakage.. SAFETY RULES WARNING An electrical shock causing 0 miliamps of current to pass through the heart will stop most human heartbeats. Voltage as low as Volts DC or AC rms should be considered dangerous and hazardous since it can produce a fatal current under certain conditions. Higher voltage are even more dangerous. Observe the following safety precautions.. Do not exceed the following input ratings. Personal injury or damage to the instrument may result. DC VOLTS... 000V (DC + AC peak) AC VOLTS... 70V rms OHMS... 0V rms ma... 00mA (fuse protected) 0A... 0A (fuse protected) COM... Do not float more than 000 volts from earth ground.. Always check to make sure test lead plugs are fully inserted into input terminals and the function / range selector switch is set to the proper position.. Never use the multimeter unless the bottom cover is closed.. Remove test leads before replacing battery or fuses, and before performing any servicing on the multimeter.. Turn off equipment while making test connections in high voltage circuits. Discharge high-voltage capacitors after removing power.. For the safest voltage or current measurements in high voltage equipment, do not touch equipment, meter, or test leads while power is applied. 7. If possible, familiarize yourself with the equipment being tested and the location of its high voltage points. However, remember that high voltage may appear at unexpected points in defective equipment. Use an insulated floor material or floor mat to stand on and an insulated work bench surface; make certain such surfaces are not damp or wet.
