How To Use Weepro Multimeter
The first thing to learn before using a multimeter is to understand current.
How to use weepro multimeter. Mags how to videos how to use a multimeter for beginners in this video i will help teach you how use a multimeter to test volts ac dc amps and ohms. Adjust your multimeter to measure dc voltage. Some models have a knob while others use a push button. Plug your multimeter probes into the jacks labeled common and dc voltage. It also comes handy when determining the amount of current flowing in a circuit.
Connect the com probe to the other side of your component. It can help you know the power left on your batteries. Connect the red probe to the positive side of your component which is where the current is coming from. If you re measuring ac voltage place the probes across the component. Read the value on the display.
To measure voltage you have to connect your multimeter in parallel with the component you want to measure the voltage. Squeeze the probes with a little pressure against the positive and negative terminals of the aa battery. Then set the multimeter to the kind of voltage you re measuring if it doesn t have an auto range function. Insert the black probe in the com or negative jack and insert the red probe in the v or positive jack then insert the other ends of the probes into an electrical outlet and read the display on the multimeter. Understanding ac and dc.
Connect the black probe to the battery s ground or and the red probe to power or. This setting is usually denoted with the battery symbol. How to use a multimeter. Again you probably won t even use half of the settings shown so don t get overwhelmed if you only know what a few of them do. A multimeter is a handy tool that you use to measure electricity just like you would use a ruler to measure distance a stopwatch to measure time or a scale to measure weight.
Almost all portable electronics use direct current not alternating current. The neat thing about a multimeter is that unlike a ruler watch or scale it can measure different things kind of like a multi tool. Your multimeter might also have a dedicated setting for testing the amperage of aa aaa and 9v batteries. To learn how to measure resistance or amperes with the multimeter keep reading. Use the black plug for common and the red plug for dc voltage.
