ares 901-ZX:TR MULTITESTER OPERATION SUGGESTIONS 1 Unknown quantity. When unknown voltage or current is measured, always start with the highest range. After the first reading, the range switch can be reset to a lower range for a more accurate reading. 2 Selection of a range. For accurate reading, use the range next higher to the approximate value known. For instance, the voltage of a dry cell should be checked on the DC 2.5V range; on the 10V or 50V range, no better result is obtained. For resistance, reading is most accurate around in the middle of the scale. 3 Protective front cover, The metacrylic-resin front cover is treated with anti-electrifi- cation coating. Do not wipe it hard, or the coating will come off to cause erroneous reading. Volatile solvent should not be used to clean it; use a soft brush to remove dust. Metacrylic resin is softer than glass quite liable to get bruised. 4 Maintenance cares. Avoid placing the instrument where severe shock or vibra- tion is encountered, or where there is high temperature or moisture. Do not leave it in the direct sun or oily atmosphere. _—a 5 Measurement of small-size transistors. While testing a small-size RF germanium transistor, IcEo gradually increases heated by the current applied. It may cause the pointer to creep, and must be checked quickly. 6 Resistor burned. Not seldom some internal resistor is burnt on account of AC line voltage erroneously applied to the 250mA DC or the X1 ohm range. A resistor burnt can be replaced referring to Fig. 9 and the table. The protection device is to safe- guard the indicator from accidental damage, while some resistor may burn on account of the overload, but its replacement readily restores the instrument to normal performance. 6 NOT ; Noss Range Resistor | N GO0G 250mA DC} Nat - 0.970 100mA 7” No2 - 1.59 10mA ” No3 - 22.59 Oo imA Nod - 2250 2 x100 No5 - 3.72k2 corr ” x10 No6 - 3440 1 oN ‘N ok -340 wot Nez No3 Noa xl No7 | Fig. 9 — 2 - SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 1 Parts list.
