  1. Use of Multimeter The Mission Covenant Church Holm Glad College

  2. Outlook of Multimeter • Pointer and Scale • single pointer with different scale for different measurements • Selection Switch • select to measure voltage (ac or dc), current or resistance. The Mission Covenant Church Holm Glad College

  3. Reading from Multimeter • As the Selection Switch is at DC25mA, the multimeter is used as a ammeter with fsd 25mA. • The 250A scale is used. • Reading = 17.5mA The Mission Covenant Church Holm Glad College

  4. Using as an Ohmmeter • With the input terminals shorted, set zero by turning the 0 Adjust Knob. • Remember to set zero again if the ohmmeter range is changed. The Mission Covenant Church Holm Glad College

  5. Reading from Multimeter • As the Selection Switch is at x10, the reading has to be multiplied by 10. • The reading is 90, so the resistance is 900  . The Mission Covenant Church Holm Glad College

  6. Measuring AC Voltage • If AC voltage is measured, remember to use the “output “ terminal instead of the “positive” terminal. • The “negative” terminal is still used. The Mission Covenant Church Holm Glad College

  7. Digital Multimeter • Same as analogue multimeter but it has the advantage of having a large internal resistance. • If the reading is larger than the range, the reading cannot be shown. • The “COM” terminal is always used. The other terminal can be “10A”, “AmA”, “V” depending on the measurement. The Mission Covenant Church Holm Glad College

  8. Digital Ohmmeter • In the figure shown, the resistance of the resistor is 0.824k. • There is no need to multiplied 2k for digital ohmmeter as it is the range, but not the conversion factor. The Mission Covenant Church Holm Glad College

  9. Measuring AC/DC • Make sure that the switch is switched to the correct side for DC or AC measurement. AC DC The Mission Covenant Church Holm Glad College
