VI. MAINTENANCE
A. Replacing the Battery
(See Figure 12)
To replace the battery:
1. Turn the Meter”s power off and remove all connections from the terminals.
2. Remove the screw from the tilt stand/battery compartment and
separate the battery compartment and the tilt stand from the case bottom.
3. Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
4. Replace the battery with a new 9V battery (attached to the tilt stand).
5. Rejoin the tilt stand/battery compartment with the case bottom and
reinstall the screw.
B. Testing the Meters Fuse
(See Figure 13)
To test the meter’s fuse connect the Meter as follows:
1. Insert the red test lead into the V input terminal.
2. Set the rotary switch to
Ω
resistance measurement (
Ω
) is default or press the
SELECT button to select
Ω
measurement mode.
3. Insert the other end of the test lead into the 10AMAX and observe the reading on
the display. You should see a reading <0.5 Ohms. If you see (OL), the fuse is bad.
4. Repeat step (4.) for the mA / μA terminal.
NOTE:
• When the fuse test has been completed, disconnect the connection between the
testing leads and the circuit under test, and remove the testing leads from the input
terminals of the Meter.
C. Replacing the Fuses
(See Figure 13)
To replace the meter’s fuse:
1. Turn the Meter power off and remove all the connections from the terminals.
2. Remove the screw from the tilt stand/battery compartment and separate
the battery from the case bottom.
3. Remove the two screws from the case bottom, and separate the case top from the case bottom.
4. Remove the fuse by gently prying one end loose, then take out the fuse from its bracket.
5. Install ONLY replacement fuses with the identical type and specification as follows and make sure the fuse is fixed firmly in the
bracket.
mA / μA range: F1, 600mA H 1000V, Ø6.35x31.8mm
10A range: F2, 10A H 1000V, Ø10.3 x 38.1 mm
6. Rejoin the case bottom and case top, and reinstall the screw.
7. Rejoin the tilt stand/battery compartment and case bottom, and reinstall the screw.
