How To Use Woods Multimeter
If the number on the multimeter is less than 1 then your multimeter is functioning correctly.
How to use woods multimeter. In this video i go through the basic functions of a cheap multimeter i cover how to measure ac and dc voltage how to measure resistance how to test for co. Turn the meter on. When using the meter it is possible to follow a number of simple steps. Once you have located the poles take the probes and place them on the negative and positive sides of the fuse. Connect the black probe to the battery s ground or and the red probe to power or.
Plug the black lead into the com terminal and the red lead into the v terminal. Set the mode to v with a wavy line if you re measuring ac voltage or to the v with a straight line if you re measuring dc voltage. To start let s measure voltage on a aa battery. Multimeter is catiii 300v and ul listed. Touch the metal parts of your terminals together to make sure it works.
Plug the black probe intocom and the red probe into mavω. Set the multimeter to 2v in the dc direct current range. Move the dial to v if you re measuring ac voltage or switch the dial to v to measure dc voltage. If you hear a beeping sound and see a sign on the screen of your multimeter you know that the fuse is in working condition. To begin make sure no current is running through the circuit or component you want to test.
If the reading is a flat 0 that s fine too. To test the continuity setting s calibration touch the 2 terminals together and hold them in place. Multimeter is catiii 300v and ul listed. Choose the ac or dc setting on the multimeter depending on what you re testing. You can use a digital multimeter to measure both dc and ac voltage.
Set switch to the correct measurement type and range for the measurement to be made. Plug the black probe into the com port on your multimeter.
