YX-360TR: MULTITESTER SANWA ELECTRIC INSTRUMENT CO.,LTD. Dempa Bldg, Sotokanda2-Chome Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan INSTRUCTION MANUALPersonal Type Multitester Model YX-360TRE (with hee range and Fuse & Diode Protection) Viewed in the light of a circuit tester measuring voltage, current, resistance, etc., the "YX-S60TRe"is no more than 8 standard multitester in function, But the added versatility fof performing as a transistor analyzer distinguishes it from average meters, For the particulars of its bounds of hidden possibility, you can examine for yourself the specification data along with the benefits and advantages the instrument offers. For all this, the "YX6OTRE” is by no means a large-built equipment, but itis a lightweight and handy-sized device to be seated anywhere on your bench. Asa matter of fact, itis suitable for carrying service. From beginners to profes- sionals, you can enjoy a good command of it so as to get the best of the instrument on your original idea according to your own service design.Features 1 All-purpose function. ‘The” YX-360TR¢' will entertain you with expanded vision of application. Optional use of the connector readily transfers tne meter to a regular transistor tester to directly read hre (DC amplification factor) of transis- tors for you to determine if they are suitable for circuit use, Few testers perform such unique double service. 2 Ability no less better than large-sized tester, Excellent resolution factor of 0.2mV and above, and ‘widened resistance measurement range reading from 0.202 up to 20MQ, and that energized by the small-size internal batteries, compare the instrument favorably with a bulky test gear. ‘3. Series condenser terminal (OUTPUT). Applied use of this extra terminal serves to check TV Circuits for detecting AC signals with DC element present mixed isolated. 4. 3volt internal battery power. It is impossible for a usual handy tester with a 1.5-volt battery built-in to check the linear continuity of semiconductors like LED whose forward voltage exceeds ILSV, being unable to read either their forward of backward resistance. In this respect, the 1.5-volt bat- teries lined up in series spread the measurement range of semiconductors 5 One-handed operation control and rational arrangement of ranges. All measurements are controlled by a single knob. Into the bargain, the 1000V DC and AC ranges lie adjacent each other on the selector switchboard to evade possible danger caused by misplaced range selection. In most testers are found these ranges adjoined at the ohm range, and there is a fair chance of the circuit resistors being burnt out rendering the instrument out of service. In the worst case, it might bring on serious accident to the operator. 6 Safety-emphasis measuring terminals and test leads are adopted ‘The measuring terminals and test leads are specially de- signed for operator safety. The test lead plugs are guard- ced with insulating materials. So the metal part is not exposed to avoid a possible electric shock. ‘The test led plug is 4 mm dia, so the banana-type plug ccan also be used.Appearance and parts names g® Py Fig. 1 Ov |, Sb PET Gf? cress Ee RED @ Indicator zero comector Indicator pointer ® Range selector switch knob Rear case bolt ® Measuring terminal + 49 Rear case @ Measuring terminal COM 4) Connector for hre test (common) B Connection pin to tester © OUTPUT (series condenser) 19 Transistor base clip, terminal B Transistor collector clip @ OF adjusting knob Panel Measurement ranges and performance 1 Asa circuit tester Measure ‘alow cs Measurement ans alow | Remarks BC [ooiwasvasviovsov-wor [aae.6 | Tapatien ae | fogs Spt | peace Dev) VSN probe extn ——_ | SR" | Bit ac | 0-10V_sov-2s0V—1000V_ Input im age A ee Sirs |e | sane (acy) 3% | kv | ‘Voltage pe | o- soya —2sma-25mA-0254 ae ureent | 07 SHA. 23% fs | 250mV {BEAD | soua a 0.1VDC postion | Godan for sins Tae OER a exit | Mil 420200 samt 22% °F | ace | Mkuale™ '~200— 30 soak ao ‘Maximum 2k ~20k~2M ~20M (2)) | AF | —10ap~+224B (for 1OVAC)~+624B| 445,15 | aE" | Qgnj.77SV mW tow 600) 2.

Zero corrector (is adjusted to place the pointer ®on 0 fof the scale left. It need not be repeated at each measurement, but the position of the pointer on zero ‘must be confirmed before starting measurement. 2 Test lead connections. ‘The test leads attached are inserted well down; the red lead going to the + jack and the black lead to the ~COM jack, 3. Selection of range. When selecting a range, the white mark on the knob is correctly positioned at the prescribed range. 341 DC voltage (DCV). DC voltages of batteries, amplifier circuits, power source of communication equipment, tube and tran- sistor circuit biases, etc. are measured. Each of the 7 range notations (0-1~1000) indicates the maximum voltage reading for that range. 3-2 AC voltage (ACV). Voltages of commercial AC supply, AC powered circuits, AF signal level, etc. are measured. Each of the 4 range notations (10~1000) indicates the maxt ‘mum voltage reading for that range. 33 DC current (DCA). Current consumption of DC power operated equip- 34 ment, bias current of tube and transistor cireuits, ete, fare measured. Each of the 4 range notations (50 HA~0.25 A) indicates the maximum current read- ing for that range. (A= 10° mA and A= 10? mA) Resistance (2) Resistance is measured, and line and circuit con- tinuity (or 02) tested. Each of the 4 range notations indicates the multiplication of the reading for that range, where k stands for 1000,4 Measurement 3nges and scale reading. 5 Difference between voltage and current measurements. Fig. 2-A is a standard voltage measurement, where the potential difference between 2 points is checked, for “which the meter is connected in parallel with load, while =B checks the current supplied by power and consumed by load, where the meter is connected in series with the circuit. Basically, the difference is whether the meter is connected in parallel or in series with load. ‘The latter connection accompanies the trouble of cutting open the circuit being checked, fay nomen | nese (20, SY re co woe ior ears Sd wt O16 050 ad OCHO heh ool ad oY E neva | pcvaige | Biv, 05y,25¥ ant 1004 aad fo pein | Devoe, | ya 257 ed 100 al ts fats grasa, Ot aS | Common scale with DCV reads (4) ACV (ready \C voltage | iy” For 6~1000V, multiply the read- sy be omey | REMI) gang dF 01000 on 6) LEAK, kw, | REVEME AK: | . the LV scale reads the linear (forward) voltage of the diode tested. For a Ge diode, it is usually 0.1~0.2V, and for Si diode, 05~0.8V, 4-4 The forward voltage of LED is generally more than 1.5V, while average testers will fail to check Beit by the connections of Fig. 14 to measure Ir; itis impossible to have light emitted, The 3-volt internal battery layout of the instrument effectively checks it fon the XI range. While light is being emitted, the LI scale reads the current Ir, and the LV scale the forward volage Vr. Maintenance 1. Choosing a proper range. For increased accuracy, use the range nearest in value to the value being checked. For instance, a 1.SV dry cell should be checked on the DC 2.5V range. Error will be bigger on the left half of the scale. For resistance measurement, reading is most accurate around in the middle of the scale. 2, Measurement of unknown values. When measuring an unknown value, start with the highest range. After the first reading, the switch can be reset to a lower range for a more accurate reading. 2 Protection of tester. AA tester is a precision instrument, and severe shock or vibration should be avoided. Do not leave it long where there is high temperature or moisture.
