DC Current Measurements
Measure DC conductors carrying up to 10 amperes.
1.
Turn the Range Selector Switch to the position.
Always start with the highest range if the amperage is unknown.
2.
Plug the red lead into the 10A (Right) Jack. Plug the black lead into the COM
(Center) Jack.
3.
Carefully touch the exposed conductors with the tips of the probes to measure
the amperage.
4.
Read measurement.
If the reading is less than .2 AMPs,switch the red lead to the Left AMP Jack
and set the Range Selector Switch to the 200 mA setting.
5.
Optionally, press the Data Hold button to keep the display reading the same
after the leads have been removed from the conductors. Press and release
the Data Hold button again to resume normal operation.
6.
When testing is complete, remove Test Leads and store with multimeter.
Resistance Measurements
Measure circuit resistance up to 20M Ohms.
WARNING: NEVER measure resistance on a circuit with voltage running through it.
1.
Turn the Range Selector Switch to the 200
Ω
position.
2.
Plug the red Test Lead into the Ohms (Left) Jack. Plug the black Test Lead
into the Com (Center) Jack.
Short the Test Leads together. The meter should read “0” Ohms.
3.
Touch the exposed conductors with the tips of the Test Leads.
4.
Read measurement.
If the reading is 1, set the Range Selector Switch to the next higher Ohm (
Ω
)
position.
5.
Optionally, press the Data Hold button to keep the display reading the same
after the leads have been removed from the conductors. Press and release
the Data Hold button again to resume normal operation.
Transistor(hFE)/LED Measurements
Test transistors and LEDs to ensure proper function.
1.
Turn the Range Selector Switch to the NPN or PNP position depending on
what type of transistor is to be tested. To test a LED use the NPN position.
For Transistors:
a. Insert the transistor pins into the hFE jack according to the EBC (Emitter,
Base, Collector) sequence.
b. The meter will show the approximate hFE value.
