To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, do not apply more than 1000Vdc or 750Vac rms between the common terminal and the earth ground. oa = Led EE Tb IE Cri a Г ту Custom THERMOELECTRIC Voltage is the difference in electrical potential between two points. The polarity of ac (alternating current) voltage varies over time; the polarity of dc (direct current) voltage is constant. The Meter's DC voltage ranges are 200.0mV, 2.000V, 20.00V, 200.0V and 1000V: AC voltage ranges are 2.000V, 20.00V, 200.0V and 7500V. Чей Rut ай “че -10- wim Eric ParEder ev CUSTOM THERMOELECTRIC To measure ac or de voltage: 1. Set rotary switch to the proper range. 2. Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and V terminals respectively. 3. Connect the test leads to the circuit being measured 4. Read the displayed value. The polarity of red test lead connection will be indicated when making a DCV measurement. NOTE: Unstable display may occur especially at DC200mV and AC2V ranges, even though you do not put test leads into input terminals, in this case, if an erroneous reading is suspected, short the V terminal and the COM terminal, and make sure the zero display. 3.2.2 Resistance measurement /\ To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before measuring resistance. re Fair Resistance is an opposition to current flow. The unit of resistance is the ohm (£2). The Meter's resistance ranges are 200.00, 2.000k£2, 20.00k%2, 200.0k£2, 2.000M, 20.00MO and 200.0M. : To measure resistance: 1. Set the rotary switch to proper range. 2. Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and Q terminals respectively. 3. Connect the test leads to the circuit being measured and read the displayed value. aa USTOM THERM df Some tips for measuring resistance: The measured value of a resistor in a circuit is often different from the resistor's rated value. This is because the Meter's test current flows through all possible paths between the probe tips. In order to ensure the best accuracy in measurement of low resistance, short the test leads before measurement and memory the test probe resistance in mind. This necessary to subtract for the resistance of the test leads. The resistance function can produce enough voltage to forward-bias silicon diode or transistor junctions, causing them to conduct. To avoid this, do not use the 40M range for in-circuit resistance measurements. On 20M& and 200ML2 ranges, the meter may take a few seconds to stabilize reading. This is normal for high resistance measuring. On 200MO range, the display is approx. 10 digits when test leads are shorted. These 10 digits have to be subtracted from measuring results. For example, when measuring 100 MQ resistance, the reading will be 101.0 and the correct measuring result should be = 101.041 .0=100.0 Ме. = When the input is not connected, i.e. at open circuit, the figure "1" E Will be displayed for the overrange condition. $23 Diode Test ‘ /\ To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the : instrument, disconnect circuit power and discharge all 3 high-voltage capacitors before testing diodes. Use the diode test to check diodes, and other semi- conductor Uevices. The diode test sends a current through the semiconductor junction, and then measures the voltage drop across the junction; a good silicon junction drops between 0.5V and 0.8V. To test a diode out of a circuit: 1. Set the rotary switch to PF range. 2. Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and ++ terminals respectively. 3. For forward-bias readings on any semiconductor component, place the red test lead on the component's anode and place the black test lead on the component's cathode. 4, The meter will show the approx. forward voltage of the diode. If the test lead connection is reversed, only figure "1" displayed. In a circuit, a good diode should still produce a forward bias reading of 0.5V to 0.8V; however, the reverse-bias reading can vary depending on the resistance of other pathways between the probe tips. 3.2.4 Continuity Check /\ To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing for Continuity. : Continuity is a complete path for current flow. : The beeper sounds if a circuit is complete. These brief contacts cause the Meter to emit a short beep. ‘To test for continuity: 1. Set the rotary switch to =) range. 2. Press the yellow key twice to activate Continuity Check. 3. Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and Q terminals respectively. 4. Connect the test leads to the resistance in the circuit being measured. 5. When the test lead to the circuit is below approx. 30£2, a continuous beeping will indicate it. Note: « Continuity test is available to check open/short of the circuit. -13- Tira i rove O rt o CUSTOM THERMOELECTRIC Custom THERMOELECTRIC че Rut fi” 3.2.5 Capacitance measurement /\ To avoid electrical shock and/or damage to the instrument, disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before measuring capacitance. Use the dc voltage function to confirm that the capacitor is discharged. Capacitance is the ability of a component to store an electrical charge. The unit of capacitance is the farad (F). Most capacitors are in the nanofarad to microfarad range. The Meter's capacitance ranges are 20.00nF, 200.0nF, 2.000uF, and 20.00uF. To measure capacitance: 1. Set the rotary switch to proper range. 2. Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and dF terminals respectively (or you can measure the capacitance by using the special Multi-Function Socket). : 3, Connect the test leads to the capacitor being measured and read the displayed value. | some tips for measuring capacitance: : The meter may take a few seconds to stabilize reading.
