D. 

Alternating current (A V scale) 

 

1.  

Set knob Sk

2

 to position "~". 

 

2. 

Set  knob  Sk

1

  to  position  "3 A"  (highest  current  range,  to                  

 

 

prevent  damage  to  the  meter)  and  connect  the  measuring                

 

 

leads to the s and -. 

 

3. 

Now connect the measuring leads to the current circuit to                   

 

 

be  measured  and  then  set  knob  Sk

1

  that  measuring                        

 

 

position  that  is  most  suitable  to  provide  an  accurate                            

 

 

reading of the current in question.

 

 

E. 

Resistance (Ω scale) 

1. 

Select the appropriate resistance range with knob Sk

2

  (x 1                    

 

 

Ω, x 100 Ω or x 10 kΩ); knob Sk

1

 may be in any position. 

 

2. 

Connect  the  measuring  leads  to  the  sockets  +  and  -    and                 

 

 

short-circuit the free ends of these leads. 

 

3. 

Check the zero setting of the indicator (to the right on the                                 

 

 

scale) and, if necessary, correct with knob R. if it is found                        

 

 

impossible to adjust the indicator to 0 Ω, this means that                 

 

 

the batteries are runned down and have to be replaced (see                  

 

 

under REPLACEMENT OF BATTERIES). 

  

4. 

Now  connect  the  ends  of  the  measuring  leads  to  the                       

  

 

resistor to be measured. 

  

5. 

After  switching  over  to  another  resistance  range  the               

  

 

measuring  leads  must  always  be  short-circuited  and  the                    

  

 

indicator set to exactly 0 Ω. 

 

Note: 

When measuring a resistor within an apparatus, make sure that the 

resistor is disconnected from impedances or voltages. 

 

dB SCALE

   

The dB scale is based on the use of the measuring. range 0 

- 3 V. The zero level is fixed at 0.775 V, which corresponds to 1 mW across 
600  Ω.  In  the  case  of  a  greater  measuring  range,  the  dB  value  can  be 
determined if the value read from the dB scale is increased by 12 dB for the 
range 0 - 12 V, 20 dB for 0 - 30 V, 32 db for 0 - 120 V, 40 db for 0-300 V 
and 52 db for 0 - 1200 V.
