Introduction
The Cen-Tech digital multimeter is a versatile tool that can be used to test a variety of electronic devices. In this section, we will go over how to use the Cen-Tech digital multimeter.
What is a digital multimeter?
A digital multimeter is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. It can measure AC and DC voltage, AC and DC current, resistance, continuity, and diode test. Most digital multimeters can also measure temperature, capacitance, and frequency.
What can you use a digital multimeter for?
A digital multimeter is a very versatile and powerful tool that can be used to measure a variety of electrical properties. The most basic function of a digital multimeter is to measure voltage, but it can also be used to measure current, resistance, and continuity. It can even be used to test batteries and fuses.
Learning how to use a digital multimeter is not difficult, but it does require some knowledge of basic electrical concepts. This guide will teach you the basics of using a digital multimeter so that you can get the most out of this useful tool.
How to Use a Digital Multimeter
A digital multimeter is a handy tool that every homeowner should have in their toolkit. It can be used to test for continuity, measure voltage, and test for resistance. In this article, we’ll show you how to use a digital multimeter to test for continuity, measure voltage, and test for resistance.
How to turn on the digital multimeter
1. To turn on the digital multimeter, press and hold the power button for about two seconds.
2. The digital multimeter will automatically turn off when it is not in use for about 15 minutes.
3. To turn off the digital multimeter, press and hold the power button for about two seconds.
How to select the function you want to use
On most digital multimeters, there will be a dial or selector switch with various functions denoted by symbols. You can usually select between AC voltage, DC voltage, DC current, resistance, and continuity. In order to properly select the function you want to use, first identify the symbol on the multimeter that corresponds to the quantity you wish to measure. Then, rotate the selector switch until that symbol is lined up with the line or arrow on the multimeter.
For example, suppose you want to measure AC voltage. First, locate the symbol for AC voltage on your multimeter. It will look like a sine wave. Then, rotate the selector switch until that symbol is lined up with the line or arrow on the face of the multimeter.
How to take a reading
When you need to take a reading with your digital multimeter, follow these steps:
1. Select the correct function. For most purposes, you’ll use the “voltage” or “resistance” function.
2. Select the correct range. You’ll almost always want to start with the highest range and work your way down until you find a range that gives you a stable reading.
3. Make sure the multimeter is turned off before you plug the leads into the jacks.
4. Plug the red lead into the “VΩmA” jack and the black lead into the common (COM) jack.
5. Touch the black lead to the ground (metal part) of whatever you’re testing and touch the red lead to the point you want to measure. If you’re measuring voltage, make sure that nothing is plugged into whatever you’re testing.
6. Turn on the multimeter by rotating the knob until the needle points to 0 on the dial or until the digital display reads 0.0 (zero).
7. Take your reading and turn off the multimeter by rotating the knob back to its original position or by pressing the power button if your model has one.
