Multi Meter

The document discusses a multi-meter, which can measure voltage, resistance, and current. It has several key parts, including a pointer, range selector knob, adjustment screw, and test probes. The multi-meter comes in analog and digital forms. It is important to properly maintain a multi-meter by reading the manual, starting with the highest measurement range, selecting the correct range for the measurement, checking batteries, and storing it safely.

Multi-Meter

INTR0DUCTION
•The Multitester or multimeter
is sometimes called the VOM
(voltmeter, ohmmeter,
milliammeter).
•It is the best instrument
that can measure voltage,
resistance and current. It is
generally made of two
types: the analog and the
digital.
Parts of the multi tester
POINTER

•The needle-shaped rod that moves


over the scale of a meter. Pointer It
is mechanically connected to the
moving coil. It indicates the measured
values on the multimeter
RANGE SELECTOR KNOB

•(Selector switch) makes it


possible to select different
functions and range of the
meter
ADJUSTMENT SCREW

•makes it possible to adjust


the pointer to the zero
position of the scale
SCALE

•s a series of marking used for reading the


value of a quantity. Scale can have different
types of scale, for voltage and current
readings the scales have mostly
linear which means equal division for
resistance.
ZERO OHM ADJUSTING KNOB

•is used to zero-in the


pointer before measuring
resistance.
TEST PROBES positive (red), negative
(black)
•is used to connect the
circuit to the electrical
components being tested.
A. Proper care and maintenance of the multi-
tester
•1. Read manual of instructions on how
to operate the multi-tester.

•2. In reading the amount of voltage,


always start with the highest range to
avoid reading voltage higher than the
tester setting.
•3. Be sure that the tester is set to the
correct range setting: resistance range
when measuring the ohm, voltage range
when measuring voltage and ammeter
range when measuring the value of
electric current.
•4. Always check the condition of its
battery. Worn out batteries will damage
the internal
•5. When the tester is not
in used or will be stored,
set the selector switch to
1000V or to OFF position.
•6. Never drop the tester
B. How to read the meter scale of the multi
tester
•To read the resistance range of the
multi-tester, the given table below
will be used.
•The unit of measurement to be used
to determine its resistance is ohm.
METER READING
• The Topmost part of the scale is for ohmmeter
•Multi-tester is the best friend of
every technician because it
provides multi-function like
measuring voltage, current and
resistance in many
ranges
