THE MULTITESTER

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.
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

 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 setting of the
tester.
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.
