AUTO HOLD Function

The 732 series of multimeters can automatically retain the measured 

value when the testing leads are handled as described below.

a)  Press the AUTO.H key. (The display shows the           symbol.)

b)  Connect the testing leads to the object under test.

c)  When the reading stabilizes, the buzzer sounds.

d)  Remove the testing leads from the object under test.

e)  The multimeter now shows the measured value that it retains.

f)   You can repeat steps b) to e) as many times as you like as long as 

  the display shows the          symbol.

A • H

A • H

g) To cancel this function, press the AUTO.H key once again.

  (The          symbol disappears.)

A • H

AUTO POWER OFF Function

The multimeter automatically turns off if no key is pressed for a period of 

20 minutes. The multimeter will beep for approximately one minute to 

alert the operator before the automatic power-off function takes effect. 

(Pressing any key while the multimeter is beeping postpones the 

power-off time. Pressing any key once after the power to the multimeter 

is automatically turned off switches the multimeter on again.)

To cancel the automatic power-off function, hold down the SELECT key 

and then set the function switch from the OFF to the position of any 

desired measurement mode. (The AUTO POWER OFF indication turns 

off when the function is canceled.)

To enable the function once again, temporarily switch the function switch 

back to the OFF position, and then select the desired measurement mode.

Battery Replacement

If the batteries fall below the normal operating voltage, the          symbol 

turns on. If this happens, replace the batteries with new ones 

(AAA-size [ANSI] batteries: 2 pcs.).

• Be sure to disconnect the multimeter from the circuit under test before replacing 

the batteries.

• Replace both batteries at the same time making sure to position them with 

the correct polarities.

Diode Test

a) Set the function switch from the OFF position to 

  the         position.

b) Plug the black testing lead into the 

COM

 input 

 terminal and the red testing lead into 

  the                 input terminal.

c) Connect the testing leads to the diode and then 

  read the multimeter when it stabilizes.

Capacitor Check

*This function is not supported on the 73201/04 multimeters.

d) When the test is complete, set the function 

  switch back to the OFF position and turn off 

  the multimeter.

(1) Forward-bias Diode Test

(2) Reverse-bias Diode Test

Connect the black testing lead to the cathode and 

the red testing lead to the anode (see Figure 1).

Silicon diodes should give a reading of 

approximately 0.5 V and light-emitting diodes a 

reading between 1.5 V and 2.0 V. 

Note that readings close to 0 V represent a 

short-circuit and the "---" symbol indicates an 

open-circuit.

Connect the black testing lead to the anode and 

the red testing lead to the cathode (see Figure 2).

Normally, the display shows the "---" symbol, 

indicating that the diode under test is normal. 

The diode is defective if the display gives a 

certain voltage level.

• Check to which mode the function dial is set before starting measurement.

• A current of 11 to 20 A can also be measured if the time interval is kept within 

30 seconds. The buzzer will sound if the interval exceeds 30 seconds. 

If this happens, immediately stop measurement. 

To continue measurement, wait for 2 minutes or more when restart.

Current Measurement (μA/mA/A)

a) Set the function switch from the OFF position to either the μA, mA or A 

  position. (If the magnitude of the current being measured is not known, 

  select the A position.)

b)  When measuring AC current, press the SELECT key to select the AC 

  mode. (The display shows the         symbol to indicate AC-mode 

 measurement.)

c)  Plug the black testing lead into the 

COM

 input terminal and 

  the red testing lead into the A input terminal. 

  If the current is in the order of milli-amperes or less, 

  plug the red testing lead into the                    input terminal.

d)  Connect the testing leads to the circuit under test and then read the 

  multimeter when it stabilizes.

e)  When measurement is complete, set the function switch back to the 

  OFF position and turn off the multimeter.

Zero calibration is only effective when the 20 nF range is selected.

Before starting measurement, be sure to discharge the capacitor under check.

a) Set the function switch from the OFF position to the 

        position.

b) Plug the black testing lead into the 

COM

 input terminal 

  and the red  testing lead into the                     input 

 terminal.

c) Press the SELECT key to adjust the stray capacitance

  to zero. (The display shows the CAL              symbol)

d) Connect the testing leads to the circuit under check 

  and then read the multimeter when it stabilizes.

e) When measurement is complete, set the function 

  switch back to the OFF position and turn off the 

 multimeter.

CAL

•  In DC voltage measurement, the AUTO HOLD function is only available for 

  ranges greater than the 4 V range.

•  This function is not available for current-mode measurement.

•  In a capacitor check, the AUTO HOLD function requires a few seconds before 

  it takes effect.

• The AUTO HOLD function cannot be applied to unstable signals.

To replace the batteries:

a) Remove the three screws on the back of 

  the casing.

b) Open the casing.

c) Take the battery holder out of the casing.

d) Replace the batteries with new ones and 

  install the battery holder back into the casing.

e) Close the casing and fasten it with the 

  three screws.

Fuse Replacement

If a current greater than the rated value flows when the multimeter is in the 

current-measurement range, a protection fuse may blow. If this happens, 

replace that fuse. The multimeter contains the following two types of fuses:

• Be sure to disconnect the multimeter from the circuit under test before replacing 

the fuse(s).

• Do not operate the multimeter with the casing left open.

• In order to avoid damage to the multimeter or any possible accident, 

use fuses of the specified rating.

• Type F05: 500 mA/250 V fuse

• Type F02: 15 A/250 V fuse
