  3. STELR Ranging Multimeter • Features • Input jacks • Turning on (and off) • LCD display • How to measure voltage • How to measure current • How to measure resistance • Other measurements • Use of the ‘select’ button • Use of the ‘hold’ button

  4. STELR Ranging Multimeter LCD display

  5. STELR Ranging Multimeter LCD display Select button

  6. STELR Ranging Multimeter LCD display Hold button Select button

  7. STELR Ranging Multimeter LCD display Hold button Select button Rotary switch

  8. STELR Ranging Multimeter LCD display Hold button Select button Rotary switch Shock-proof case

  9. STELR Ranging Multimeter LCD display Hold button Select button Rotary switch Shock-proof case Input jacks

  10. STELR Ranging Multimeter • Please also refer to the instruction leaflet accompanying each multimeter.

  11. STELR Ranging Multimeter Input jacks

  12. STELR Ranging Multimeter The centre jack is a common negative Input jacks

  13. STELR Ranging Multimeter The centre jack is a common negative The right jack should be used as positivefor all measurements except when measuring between 200mA and 10A Input jacks

  14. STELR Ranging Multimeter Input jacks

  15. STELR Ranging Multimeter Note that when connected this way the maximum values are 600V and 200mA. A 200mA fuse protects this circuit and the fuse will ‘blow’ if these values are exceeded. Input jacks

  16. STELR Ranging Multimeter The centre jack is a common negative The left jack should only be used as positivefor when measuring between 200mAand 10A. For example when using the wind turbine. Input jacks

  17. STELR Ranging Multimeter Input jacks

  18. STELR Ranging Multimeter Note that when connected this way the maximum values for current is 10A. This circuit has no fuse for protection and a current of 10A can be passed through the circuit for a maximum of 10 seconds before the multimeter will be damaged. Input jacks

  19. STELR Ranging Multimeter Turning the multimeter on

  20. STELR Ranging Multimeter Rotary switch in OFF position

  21. STELR Ranging Multimeter Turn rotary switch to any other setting to turn on

  22. STELR Ranging Multimeter The display will activate once the multimeter is turned on Turn rotary switch to any other setting to turn on

  23. STELR Ranging Multimeter If the display does not activate, it means either the battery is flat or the fuse has blown. Go to https://stelr.org.au/stelr-modules/renewable-energy/#how-to-use to find out how to change the battery and the fuse.

  24. STELR Ranging Multimeter If the display does not activate, it means either the battery is flat or the fuse has blown. Go to https://stelr.org.au/stelr-modules/renewable-energy/#how-to-use to find out how to change the battery and the fuse. The multimeter will automatically power off if unattended for over 5 minutes. To reactivate, turn to off and then to any other setting.

  25. STELR Ranging Multimeter LCD display

  26. STELR Ranging Multimeter A reading of ‘0L’ indicates that the multimeter is off-scale. LCD display

  27. STELR Ranging Multimeter Measuring voltage

  28. STELR Ranging Multimeter There are two voltage settings Measuring voltage

  29. STELR Ranging Multimeter AC Voltage Measuring voltage

  30. STELR Ranging Multimeter There are no STELR activities that require the use of AC. Students should never use this setting. AC Voltage Measuring voltage

  31. STELR Ranging Multimeter DC Voltage Measuring voltage

  32. STELR Ranging Multimeter DC Voltage When measuring DC voltage students should always use the right hand socket for the positive lead Measuring voltage

  33. STELR Ranging Multimeter DC Voltage The multimeter is auto ranging for voltage and will measure any voltage up to 1000V on this setting. Measuring voltage

  34. STELR Ranging Multimeter Measuring resistance

  35. STELR Ranging Multimeter There is one resistance setting  Measuring resistance

  36. STELR Ranging Multimeter There is one resistance setting  When measuring resistance, students should always use the right hand socket for the positive lead. Measuring resistance

  37. STELR Ranging Multimeter There is one resistance setting  The multimeter is auto ranging for resistance and will measure any resistance up to 40 M on this setting. Measuring resistance

  38. STELR Ranging Multimeter Measuring current

  39. STELR Ranging Multimeter There are three different current settings Measuring current

  40. STELR Ranging Multimeter When the dial is set to any of the three current settings, the default is to measure direct current (DC) There are three different current settings Measuring current

  41. STELR Ranging Multimeter There are no STELR activities that require the use of AC. Students should never use this setting. To measure AC current, press the select switch. This toggles between AC and DC current Measuring current

  42. STELR Ranging Multimeter To measure current, always start with the meter set to amps Measuring current

  43. STELR Ranging Multimeter To measure current, always start with the meter set to amps When using the amps setting the left-hand positive socket must be used Measuring current

  44. STELR Ranging Multimeter If the reading is less than one amp, move the dial to the milliamp position Measuring current

  45. STELR Ranging Multimeter If the reading is less than one amp, move the dial to the milliamp position When using the milliamps setting the right-hand positive socket must be used Measuring current

  46. STELR Ranging Multimeter If the reading is less than one milliamp, move the dial to the microamp position Measuring current

  47. STELR Ranging Multimeter If the reading is less than one milliamp, move the dial to the microamp position When using the microamps setting the right-hand positive socket must be used Measuring current

  48. STELR Ranging Multimeter Other measurements

  49. STELR Ranging Multimeter • There are other settings on the multimeter that can be used for testing frequency, capacitance, transistors and diodes. • These are not required for use as part of the STELR program, but may be of general use in other programs. • For detailed instructions on the use of these settings, please refer to the Digital Multimeter Operator’s Manual sheet included with the multimeters.
