insulation or exposed metal. Failure to observe this

Page 3

precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to

the user.

2.10 Make sure test leads are properly inserted and seated in the

meter’s input jacks. A loose test lead may cause the user

to believe that no hazard exists, when in fact, dangerous

voltages or currents may be present. Failure to observe

this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury

to the user.

2.11 Do not touch the tips of the test leads when making a

measurement. Do not touch live circuitry when making a

measurement. Failure to observe this precaution may result

in damage to the meter or injury to the user.

2.12 Before using the meter, examine both the meter and the test

leads for damage. Do not use the meter if damage (damaged

insulation, exposed metal, cracked case, burnt smell, etc.) is

evident. Failure to observe this precaution may result in

damage to the meter or injury to the user.

2.13 Insert the test leads in the jacks specified in the instructions

for performing particular tests. Inserting the test leads in

incorrect jacks can damage the meter and/or injure the user.

2.14 Do not exceed the maximum voltage or current limitations

of the meter (see product specifications). Doing so may

damage the meter and/or injure the user.

2.15 Do not apply voltage or current to the input of the meter

when it is set to any of the Ohms Ω ranges. Doing so may

damage the meter and/or injure the user.

2.16 Do not apply voltage or current to the input of the meter

when it is set to the Diode Test or Continuity Beeper

modes. Doing so may damage the meter and/or injure the user.

2.17 Do not attempt to measure a voltage source with the test

leads plugged into the meter’s uAmA or 20A jacks. Doing

so may damage the meter and/or injure the user.

2.18 Do not rotate the Function switch with the test leads

connected to the circuitry to be tested. Doing so may

damage the meter or the circuitry, and/or injure the user.

2.19 Replace fuses only with exact or equivalent fuses.

this precaution may result in damage to the meter or

injury to the user.

Page 5

2.20 Do not apply voltages to the input of the meter which are

elevated above the earth ground potential by more than

600V AC/DC. Doing so may damage the meter and/or

injure the user.

2.21 Do not continue to use meter when the “low battery” symbol

is displayed. The displayed reading may be in error and

lead the user to believe that no hazard exists, when in fact,

dangerous voltages or currents may be present. Failure to



2.22 Use caution when working with voltages above 25 volts AC

or 35 volts DC. Such voltages may cause a life threatening

electrical shock.

2.23 This meter is not for use by children. Failure to observe

this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury

to the user.

2.24 Do not use this meter to make measurements in adverse

environments such as rain, snow, fog, or locations with

steam, explosive gases or dusts. Doing so may damage

the meter and/or injure the user.

Page 6

2.25 Do not use meter in condensing atmospheres. That is, do

not use meter in conditions where ambient temperature and

humidity could cause condensation of water inside of meter.

Doing so may cause injury to the user.

2.26 Do not use the meter if either the meter or the test leads are

wet, either from exposure to the weather, or after cleaning

the case of the meter. Doing so may cause injury to the user.

2.27 Do not attempt immediate use of the meter when bringing

it from a cold environment to a warm environment.

Condensation of water, inside and outside of the meter, may

produce dangerous measuring conditions. Allow the meter

to warm to room temperature before using. Failure to



2.28 Do not modify the meter. Changing the design may make

the meter unsafe and may result in injury to the user.

2.29 Use caution when attempting to evaluate if a dangerous

voltage is present. The meter will not read AC voltage if it

is set to DC, nor will it read DC if it is set to AC.

For example, if the meter is set to 200VDC, it will not

measure a dangerous AC voltage, even if the probes are

Page 7

inserted into a household AC wall outlet.

2.30 Do not touch the metallic portion of one test lead if the other

test lead is connected to a live circuit. The current from the

live circuit may pass through the meter and appear on the

unconnected test lead. Failure to observe this warning may

result in user injury.

2.31 Do not attempt to use meter when no display is present on

LCD. Doing so may damage the meter and/or injure the user.

2.32 Use caution when measuring circuits containing capacitors.

Capacitors can store dangerous or lethal levels of electricity,

even when the circuitry which they are in has been

disconnected from its power source. Some capacitors

could source enough energy to damage the meter and/or

injure the user.

2.33 Do not use the meter if there is evidence of chemical leakage

from the battery. Leakage could damage meter and lead to

injury of user.

Page 8

2.34 Do not use this meter to measure current in circuits whose

open circuit voltage exceeds 250V AC/DC. The meter’s fuses

are rated at 250V max. Failure to observe this precaution

may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.

2.35 When you use the meter to check a high-voltage circuit, do

not try to connect both test leads at once. Instead, clip one probe to the neutral or ground lead of the circuit (usually a bare, green, or white wire in AC wiring circuits) using the insulated slip-on Alligator Clips. Then probe for voltages with the other test lead. This helps prevent you from accidentally touching a hot wire, since you need to concentrate on only one test lead. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.

2.36 If there is any doubt about the condition of the meter

(i.e. safe vs unsafe), remove the meter from service and secure it in a location that will prevent its unintentional use.

Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.

Do not use the meter if it does not appear to work correctly on all ranges and in all modes. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.

Do not use the meter if it has undergone long-term storage under unfavorable conditions. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.

2.39 Do not use the meter if it may have been damaged in transport. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.

2.40 Always connect one of the meter’s alligator clips to the low side of a power circuit first. Never clamp onto a hot wire first, (usually red, black, or blue in AC wiring circuits.)

If you clamp onto a hot wire first, and touch the other probe, you could receive a shock. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.

of the diode and the black test lead to the Cathode (“banded”

end) of the diode. The LCD will indicate the voltage drop of the

diode. Reverse the connections of the test probes to the diode.

The LCD should indicate overrange (“1 - - -”). If the Continuity

Beeper sounds when the leads are connected in either direction

to a standard silicon diode, the diode is probably shorted.

Note: The reading displayed on the LCD is an accurate indication of the

voltage drop of the device or circuit being measured.

7.10 Measuring Capacitance:

WARNING!

Do not apply voltage or current to the meter when it is set

to the Capacitance “F ” ranges. Do not connect a charged capacitor to the meter. Doing so may damage the meter or injure the user.

7.10.1 Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test


7.10.2 Set RANGE switch to the F position appropriate for the

measurement to be made.

7.10.3 Connect the test leads to the capacitor to be measured.

Observe proper polarity (if appropriate). Read value from

the LCD display.

7.10.4 If the display indicates overrange, i.e. “1- - -”, rotate the

RANGE switch to the next higher position and observe the

reading on the LCD display. If the RANGE switch is already at

its highest position (i.e. 200u F), and the reading exceeds

20.0, it should be considered inaccurate.

the RANGE switch to a lower range. Rotate the RANGE switch

to the next lower position and observe the reading on the LCD

display. If the RANGE switch is already on the lowest position

(i.e. 2n F), no greater measurement resolution can be obtained.

Notes: a) On the 2nF and 20nF ranges, the meter may indicate residual

capacitance. i.e The meter reading will not go to zero. This is

caused by the internal capacitance of the meter circuitry or the

test leads.

b) The Test Leads may introduce error when used on the low

capacitance ranges (like 2nF and 20nF). To minimize the error,

note the difference in reading with the leads inserted into the

meter and with the leads removed from the meter, and when

using the test leads, subtract the noted difference from the

displayed reading.

8: TEST LEAD HOLDERS STAND, and HANGER

Test Lead Holders are provided on the back of the 9007. The test leads may be snapped into the back of the meter for storage, or one or both leads may be snapped into the holders with the tip protruding, forming a handy ‘meter with probe’ unit.

A built in stand can be flipped out to tilt the meter up to a convenient angle for use on a table top.

A recess in the back of the meter allows it to be hung from a hook or nail.

9: MAINTENANCE

Your Triplett Model 9007 DMM is a precision measuring instrument and, when used as described in this manual, should not require maintenance.

However, periodic calibration of the meter will insure that it is accurate and performing in accordance with its design specifications.

A one year calibration interval is suggested.

To clean the outside of the meter, use a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any abrasive cleansers, or chemical solvents that may damage the case of the meter.

9.1 Replacing Battery:

9.1.1 Remove the test leads from the meter.

9.1.2 Remove 1 screw from the top of the battery compartment

cover. Flip the Stand out and remove the screw from the bottom

of the battery compartment cover. The cover is sealed and may

fit tightly. A small screwdriver inserted at the top of the cover

may help to remove it.

9.1.3 Remove the 9 volt battery and, observing proper polarity,

replace with a fresh battery (PN 37-48).

9.1.4 Reassemble battery compartment cover. Reinstall screws.

9.1.5 Verify that the meter operates properly before using it to make

measurements.

9.2 Replacing Fuses:

9.2.1 Remove the test leads from the meter.

9.2.2 Remove the 4 screws from the back of the meter case. Flip up

the Stand and remove 2 additional screws. It is not necessary

to remove the battery cover screws.

Page 39

9.2.3 Open the meter case by wiggling the back to separate it from

the front. Set the back of the case to one side.

9.2.4 Locate the defective fuse and replace with the exact or

equivalent type. See meter specifications.

9.2.5 Reassemble case of meter. Reinstall screws.

9.2.6 Verify that the meter operates properly before using it to

make measurements.
