Parts of The Multitester

The document describes various parts of a multimeter used for testing voltages, resistance, and current. The key parts include: 1) The pointer or needle indicates the measured values by pointing to the appropriate location on the meter scale. 2) Meter scales show the measurement values and range from 0 to the maximum level for things like voltage, resistance, and current depending on the selector settings. 3) Knobs like the dial/infinity knob and zero ohm adjuster allow calibrating the meter's zero point and ensuring accurate readings. 4) The range selector knob chooses the type of measurement and appropriate scale range. 5) Test probes in red and black connect to the circuit

PARTS OF THE MULTITESTER

The Dial or the Infinity knob - this is the zero collector whenever you calibrate, the beginning as 0 voltages both the AC and DC
measurement. Use your flat screw driver to set this knob to calibrate the 0 voltages of your tester. The name alone as Infinity knob
because 0 voltage region of the tester is the infinity region of the resistance. Because the principle of the Multitester is “The higher
the measurement of the voltage, the lower the resistance."

Zero Adjustment or the Zero Ohms collector knob- this use to calibrate the tester whenever you wanted to measure the
resistance. To assure that the tester calibrated to zero Ohms, just follow this procedure. Take the two metal tip of the test probe of
the VOM connected. Then look at the meter scale of the tester, notice the needle or the pointer if it takes to the zero ohms situated
right of the meter scale. If the needle didn't take to the zero ohms just rolled the knob clockwise until the middle position in the zero
ohms.

The pointer or needle- use to point or read the measurement using the meter scale base of the range and settings you prepared
during the test of a device or line of a voltage.

Meter scales- this is the basis of the measurement where the graduation, bar drawn in the body, commonly the resistance or ohms
scale have a measurement from 0-2k ohms depend of the range and settings. And the voltage both AC and DC from 0-250,50, 10
and it depends on the range and settings you sited.

Range selector knob- this part of the tester located center down of the body of the VOM is used to select the range and settings of
the VOM the (AC and DC, Resistance, and the Amperage). Be sure to set this if ever you wanted to measure the voltage. If you
forgot to sit this part, and the settings are the resistance, then you measure the voltage, this will cause blown off your VOM and may
possibly cause damage of your VOM. Range and settings- position in the whole corner of the range selector knows. Written here the
voltages AC and DC, Resistance or ohms, and the amperage ranges. So if you wanted to measure be sure to know what you wanted
to measure so that you can sit your settings, example Voltage AC 220 Volts.

Test probes- there are two test probes of the VOM, the black is the negative (-) and the red is the positive (-). If ever you wanted
to measure a voltage, example DC just knows the polarity or the positive and negative. Then connect the test probe red to the
positive line of the circuit and the black probe to the negative or the ground (GND) of the circuit or of the dry cells.
SUMMARY
Pointer or Needle – indicates the values read from the scale
Scale – shows the value of what is being measured
Dial/Infinity Knob – points the needle to the 0 at the left side of the scale
Zero Ohm Adjuster – adjusts the needle to the right side of the scale
Range Selector Knob – allows changing the function and scale
Range – allows more accurate measurement for small values
Test Probes – Positive probe (red) and Negative Probe (black) are used to connect to the circuit or device under test.
