INFORMATION SHEET 1.1.1
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Give the Importance of Occupational Health and Safety

2. Define Safety
3. Identify hazardous and non-hazardous workplace
4. Enumerate the Components of Safety Management System
5. Familiarize with the safety signs and symbols
INTRODUCTION
Occupational Safety and Health was strongly believed to have emanated from the
introduction of machineries. This transition of manpower to machine power, exposed workers
to moving gears, cutting blades and power operation, which brought about the various
hazards confronting workers at the workplace.
HISTORY
PREHISTORIC
 Defensive weaponry
 Silicosis from hard quartz
 Mining for flint
BABYLONIANS
 2000 B.C. – 6th Ruler, Hammurabi
 Code of Hammurabi
 Set precedent the early form of worker’s compensation insurance
 “If a man has caused the loss of a gentleman’s eye, his own eye shall be
caused to be lost”
EGYPTIANS
 Organized construction of temples, pyramids and tombs
 Rameses II ( 1500 B.C.)

• Provided medical services for workers to maintain a “healthy” workforce
GREEKS
 Nicander, poet & physician
 Wrote poem, “Alexipharmaca” describing lead poisoning
 Hippocrates, Father of Medicine
 Described effects of tetanus
 Hippocratic Oath
ROMANS
 Built extensive aqueducts, sewage systems, public baths, latrines and ventilated
houses
 Poets and philosophers wrote about ills of certain occupations, toxic substances,
plague etc.
 Alexander the Great – first medical services for the army
 Pliny the Elder – first respirators made of ox bladders for workers exposed to mercury
6TH – 17TH CENTURY

England during a time referred to as the Industrial Revolution ushered in a period of work
deaths and disability never seen before or since.
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
 Inanimate power sources - coal & steam
 Substitution of machines for human skills
 Invention of new methods of manufacturing.
 Organization of work in large units
 What effect did these changes have on the safety and health of workers?
The greatest upsurge in industrial growth occurred around 1880 with the rapid
increase of steel production.
Weaving machines & equipment – steam powered and later by electricity
Labor was untrained and unskilled.
The Worker’s Plight – 1900
11 to 13 hrs exposure to accident potential.

Public sympathy rises (Labor Organization)
The old employer’s liability law was of no help to the worker

because doctrines of the common law supplied employers with
an adequate defense against suits brought about by injured
workers or their families
COMMON LAW
1. The employee Contributed to the cause of the accident.
ELC724335
January, 2018
ASSEMBLE ELECTRONIC
TOURISM ACADEMY

2. Another employee contributed to the cause of the accident.

3. The employee knew of the hazards involved in the accident before the injury was
sustained and still agreed to work in the condition for pay.
4. There was no employer negligence.
ORGANIZED LABOR
 Organized labor has fought for safer working conditions and compensation for injured
workers.
 Overturned the anti-labor laws:
• Fellow-servant rule – employers were not liable for workplace injuries that
resulted from negligence of other employees
• Contributory negligence – If actions of employees contributed to own injuries
• Assumption of Risk – workers who accept a job assume the risks of the job and
consequences of the risk.
It was extremely difficult to obtain an adequate settlement since common law gave injured
workers very little chance for compensation due to:
 injured worker will usually hesitate to put his job in jeopardy by suing his employer;
 does not have much chance to prove his case in court;
 out of court settlement proved to be more beneficial on the part of the worker than
legal action.
A Demand for Change: Legislative Progress
• 1870 – Employer’s Liability Acts (first corrective measures)
• 1907 – The British Act also served as a model for the first compensation law in the US
(1908)
• 1911 – The Compensation Law of Wisconsin (first significant legislation in the US)
• 1913 – The US Dept. of Labor was created
• 1915 – The American Society of Safety Engineers was organized.
Comprehensive Federal Law in US
• 1948 – all states in the US had workmen’s compensation laws
• 1970 – US Congress passed OSHA of 1970
CHANGING FOCUS
 Until the beginning of the 20th century, many owners & society at large took a fatalistic
view of safety.
 Accidents are seen as regrettable, but not preventable.

 Farm workers & immigrants willing to risk their lives & limbs went to the city for decent
wage.
 The occurrence of accidents led social reformers & labor unions push for more
humane workplaces.

IMPORTANCE OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Seven MAIN PROBLEMS of OSH in the Philippines
 There is low priority given to OSH.
 Lack of education & training on OSH among workers & management.
 Lack of trained OSH personnel.
 Weak enforcement of OSH Standards.
 Lack of OSH facilities.
 Needs to reinforce information.
 Statistics does not give reliable data due to low rate of compliance, absence of strict
penalties, and fragmented BWC administration.

WHAT IS SAFETY ?
SAFETY – freedom from HAZARDS.
HAZARD – anything that may likely cause personal injury or damage to property, or their
combination.
Since NO WORKPLACE with ZERO hazards:
SAFETY is control of hazards to attain an acceptable level of RISKS.
RISKS is the degree of exposure or chances of exposure to hazards.
SAFETY – freedom from HAZARDS.
HAZARD – anything that may likely cause personal injury or damage to property, or their
combination.
Since NO WORKPLACE with ZERO hazards:
SAFETY is control of hazards to attain an acceptable level of RISKS.
RISKS is the degree of exposure or chances of exposure to hazards.
ACCIDENT
ACCIDENT – is an [unplanned, unexpected, unwanted, unforeseen] EVENT that interrupts

or disrupts the normal and orderly progress of any activity which may result in injury (minor,
serious or fatal) to people and/or damage or destruction of property that result to losses; or
their combination.
How do ACCIDENTS occur?

Accidents (with or without injuries) occur when a series of unrelated events coincide at
a certain time and space.
- This can be from a few events to a series of a dozen or more events, thus actual
accidents only happen infrequently.

ELC724335
January, 2018
ASSEMBLE ELECTRONIC
TOURISM ACADEMY
P a g e | 18
The immediate causes of accidents are the :

 unsafe ACTS
 unsafe CONDITIONS.
UNSAFE ACTS (Human Factors)
 Negligence
 Anger/Temper
 Hasty Decisions
 Indifference
 Distractions
 Curiosity
 Inadequate Instructions
 Poor Work Habits
 Over-Confidence
 Lack of Planning
Unsafe Acts [Human Factors)

An unsafe act occurs in approximately 85%- 95% of all analyzed accidents with injuries
- An unsafe act is usually the last of a series of events before the accident occurs (it
could occur at any step of the event)
- By stopping or eliminating the unsafe act, we can stop the accident from occurring
- Although an accident could occur with the first unsafe act, studies have shown that
between 300 to 1000 of the same unsafe acts occur before an injury is sustained
- This is mainly due to the other series of events that may not align.
UNSAFE CONDITIONS
 Presence of defective tools/equipment/materials
 Congestion or restricted body movement
 Inadequate warning systems
 Presence of Fire/explosion hazards
 Poor housekeeping/disorder
 With Noise/radiation exposure
 Exposure to extremes of temperature / ventilation
 Inadequate guards / barriers

TRENDS IN SAFETY MANAGEMENT

• 1910 – reformers succeeded in getting worker’s compensation laws.
• 1920 – interest in scientific management, improved safety leads to improved
productivity.
• 1930 – companies began to study not just physical workplaces, but human
contributions to accidents.
• 1940 – focus on safety management broadened to include prevention from
accidents/illnesses.
• 1950 – management adopted the behavioral approach, applied motivational principles,
emphasis on engineering control.
• 1960 – concerns broadened to include environmental hazards.
• 1970 – workers participation in safety & health concerns increased.
• 1980 – priorities shifted from hazard identification to hazard prevention, inception of
general movement toward pro-active, rather than reactive.
• 1990 – integrating safety, health & environmental management; safety, health, &
environmental (SHE) programs contribute to company’s success.
• 2000 – empowerment of workers; integrating quality, safety & health, and environment
management systems; and multi-tasking of workers.
What’s a safety and health management system? . . .

an orderly arrangement of interdependent activities and related procedures which
implement and facilitate the performance of a major activity within an organization.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, RISK ASSESSMENT AND RISK CONTROL
Introduction:
• Planning for Hazards Identification, Risk Assessment & Risk Control is
OHSAS 18001 – Element 4.3.1.
• OHSAS: Occupational Health & Safety Assessment Series. This was
developed by British Standards Institute.
• It is a voluntary standard for developing an (OHSMS) Occupational Health &
Safety Management System.

WHAT IS A HAZARD?
■ The meaning of the word hazard can be confusing. Often, dictionaries do not give
specific definitions or combine it with the term "risk". For example, one dictionary
defines hazard as "a danger or risk" which helps explain why many people use the
terms interchangeably.
■ There are many definitions for hazard but the more common definition when talking
about workplace health and safety is:
 A hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on
something or someone under certain conditions at work.
WHAT ARE EXAMPLES OF A HAZARD?
■ Workplace hazards can come from a wide range of sources.

■ General examples include any substance, material, process, practice, etc. that has
the ability to cause harm or adverse health effect to a person under certain conditions.

WHAT IS RISK? & WHAT IS SAFETY?
• RISK is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an

adverse health effect if exposed to a hazard. It may also apply to situations with
property or equipment loss.
• SAFETY is freedom from unacceptable risk or harm.
Factors that influence the degree of risk include:
■ how much a person is exposed to a hazardous thing or condition,

■ how the person is exposed (e.g., breathing in a vapor, skin contact), and
■ how severe are the effects under the conditions of exposure.

HAZARD
 HAZARD is any existing or potential condition in the workplace that, by itself or inter-
acting with other variables (man, machines, materials, etc.) can result in death,
injuries, property damage & other losses.
 HAZARDS are grouped into two broad categories, namely:
 Those dealing with safety ------ injuries.
 Those dealing with health ------ illnesses.
INCIDENT (OR NEAR MISS)
INCIDENT (OR NEAR MISS) – event that gave

rise to an accident or had the potential to lead to
an accident.
NOTE:
An incident where no ill health, injury, damage, or
other loss occurs is also referred to as a “near
miss”. The term incident also includes near
misses.

TYPES OF HAZARDS
1 PHYSICAL HAZARDS (noise, illumination, ventilation).

2 CHEMICAL HAZARDS (gases, fumes, vapors, mists).
3 BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS (virus, germs, bacteria).
4 ERGONOMIC HAZARDS (prolonged standing).
HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION is the systematic use of all

available information to identify hazards in order to
analyze and evaluate their overall effect on people,
property and the environment.
 Identify all of the possible ways in which
workers may be harmed through work-related activities
(tasks).
 The company hazard identification program
should include the following elements:
 Companies are responsible for identifying
existing & potential workplace hazards for each task associated with the scope of
work

ELC724335
January, 2018
ASSEMBLE ELECTRONIC
TOURISM ACADEMY
P a g e | 33
 Develop a list of hazards for each task of the scope of work. Hazard identification
data must be recorded so that it can be used for risk assessment activities & in
determining appropriate control measures.
 Describe method used for review & update of modifications, changes to existing
operations & work practices. How are the changes evaluated for new hazards?
 The company shall maintain & provide employees access to MSDS for all hazardous
chemicals that are used when performing work.
It should be regarded as an ongoing, integral part of workplace hazard review.

Re-evaluate the hazards & controls when the following occurs:
a. Before & during the introduction of a new scope of work
b. Before & during alterations or changes to the scope of work
c. New information on hazards or control measures becomes available
d. The start of a new project
e. A change in the work process
f. A change or addition to tools, equipment, machinery (including locations or the
way they are used)
g. As new employees are hired
h. Moving to a new building or work area
i. Introduction of new chemicals or substances
j. Significant changes in weather conditions that will effect the scope of work
and/or safety of the workers

ELEMENT (2) : HAZARD RISK ASSESSMENT
• Refers to the process of assessing risks associated with each hazard identified during
the hazard identification process.
• Companies should evaluate each hazard to determine its' level of risk. Risk
assessments are very important as they form an integral part of a good occupational
health and safety management plan or system.
• To research the hazard, companies should consider the following information:
A. Product information/manufacturer documentation.
B. Past experience (workers, etc.).
C. Legislated requirements and/or applicable standards.
D. Industry codes of practice or best practices.
E. Health & safety material about the hazard such as material safety data sheets
(MSDS), or other manufacturer information.
F. Information from reputable organizations.
G. Results of testing (atmospheric, air sampling of workplace, biological, etc).
H. The expertise of an occupational health & safety professional.
I. Information about previous injuries, illnesses, "near misses", lessons learned,
accident reports etc.

RANKING OR PRIORITIZING HAZARDS

Ranking or Prioritizing Hazards is one way to determine the potential for accident,
injury or illness. The company should consider the following when ranking or
prioritizing hazards:
a. Percentage of workforce exposed.
b. Frequency of exposure.
c. Degree of harm likely to result from the exposure.
d. Probability of occurrence.
ELEMENT (3) : HAZARD CONTROL PROGRAM

A hazard control program consist of all steps necessary to protect workers from
exposure to a harmful substance or system, & the procedures required to monitor
worker exposure & their health to hazards such as hazardous chemicals, materials or
substance, or other types such as noise & vibration.
A written workplace hazard control program will outline which methods are
being used to control the exposure & how these controls will be monitored for
effectiveness.
Hazard control provides a means by which risks can be systematically evaluated
against a set of control options, known as the “HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS” to
determine the most effective control methods for the risks associated with each
hazard. This process involves:
a. analyzing the data collected during the hazard identification & risk
assessment processes, and
b. developing a strategic plan to control the risks identified.
USE OF HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS
The HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS is a list of control measures, in priority
order, that shall be used to eliminate or minimize exposure to the hazard.
The HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS provides a sequence of options which offer
a number of ways to approach the hazard control process.
The company’s worker’s protection program (WPP) shall reference the use of the
HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS for controlling workplace hazards.
1. ELIMINATION OF HAZARDS: An option use to get rid of the hazard
altogether. The best way to eliminate the risk is to completely remove the
hazard. It is the first line of defense for eliminating employee exposure.
ELC724335
January, 2018
ASSEMBLE ELECTRONIC
TOURISM ACADEMY
P a g e | 37
Subcontractors shall fully exercise this option at every opportunity when

feasible or practical.
2. SUBSTITUTION OF HAZARDS: Substitution involves replacing a highly
toxic substance or hazardous work practice with a less toxic substance/
hazardous one. Use this option when feasible.
3. USE OF ENGINEERING CONTROLS: If the hazard cannot be eliminated,
substituted or isolated, an engineering control is the next preferred option. It
involves such things as guards, introducing remote stop & start buttons,
and use of muffling to reduce noise levels. Use this option when feasible
and practical.
4. USE OF WORK PRACTICES & ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS TO LIMIT
EXPOSURE: Includes the use of warning signs, regular rest breaks for
employees exposed to hot environments, reducing employee exposure to
noisy machines by using a worker rotation policy, & providing supervision &
employee training on the associated hazards.
5. USE OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) should be
considered only when other control measures are not practical. Employees
must be trained in the proper use, fitting, cleaning & maintenance.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
● Isolation of source (hazard)
● Lockout & Tag-out procedures
● Design
● Process or procedural changes
● Monitoring & warning equipment
● Chemical or material substitution
ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS
● Personnel (recruitment)
● Management (H&S program)
● Monitoring
● Limiting worker exposure
● Measuring performance
● Training & education (TNA)
ELC724335

● Housekeeping & maintenance (PM)

● Purchasing
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

● To reduce exposures, while other controls are being implemented.
● To provide protection during activities, such as, maintenance & repairs when
controls are not feasible.
● To provide protection during emergencies.
● To supplement other controls.
MONITORING
• To provide assurance that hazard controls are working properly;
• To ensure that modifications have not so altered the workplace that current
hazard controls can no longer function adequately;
• To discover/locate new or previously undetected hazards & assess
effectiveness of existing controls.
COVERAGE:
 Inspection
 Industrial hygiene testing
 Medical surveillance
EVALUATING PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS

 The final process in hazard control is to evaluate the effectiveness of the
Safety & Health Program.
 Evaluation involves answering the following questions:
● What is being done to locate & control hazards?
● What impact are the benefits having on improving operational
efficiency & effectiveness?
SAFETY SIGNS AND SYMBOLS

Safety signs must be used whenever a hazard or danger can not be avoided adequately
or reduced in another way. Before installing safety signs an employer should examine
whether the hazard can be avoided or reduced by collective precautions (precautions that
protect everybody) or safer ways of doing the work.

What types of safety signs are there?

A safety sign provides information about safety or health and can be a signboard,
colour, acoustic signal, verbal communication, or hand signal.
What is a signboard?
A signboard is a sign that provides information or instruction using a combination of
shape, colour and symbols but excludes information in writing.
Why must safety signboards not contain text?
Safety signboards should not contain text. This is because the symbols or pictograms
on a signboard are intended to be understood, independently of the language ability of the
worker viewing it.
How will workers understand the meaning of safety signs?
Employers must provide information to employees on the meaning and requirements
of any signs used in the workplace, especially where text on supplementary signboards is
used.
Can any text be included on a safety sign?
Safety signboards put in place after 1 November 2007 should not contain text. Text
may be included on a supplementary signboard provided that it does not adversely affect the
effectiveness of the safety signboard.
What is a Supplementary Signboard?
A supplementary signboard (often with text) is used to give clarity to a signboard. A
signboard and supplementary signboard can be located on one "carrier". A carrier could be a
single sheet of metal, plywood, laminated plastic or other material as might be appropriate to a
location.
How will workers understand the meaning of safety signs?
Employers must provide information to employees on the meaning and requirements
of any signs used in the workplace, especially where text on supplementary signboards is
used.
Do existing safety signs containing text have to be replaced?
Where a signboard is already in place before 1 November 2007 and it meets all the
requirements of Part 7 and Schedule 9 to the General Application Regulations 2007, except
that it contains text, an employer may leave that signboard in place until 1 January 2011.

Administering the PPE Program (or how to ensure employees wear PPE)
 Have a published plant policy regarding PPE. Consult employees when formulating
the policy and obtain their support.
 Inform your people of hazards and company efforts to eliminate those hazards.
 Include the plant policy and regulations in training programs for new employees.
 Provide good quality and comfortable PPE.
Administering…
 Try to minimize the financial burden to the employees.
 Gradually introduce a mandatory PPE program: set intention , set target date for
compliance, then allow workers a period to become accustomed to wearing PPE.
 Management and supervisors must set example.
 Make wearing of PPE an important part of the Plant PPE program.

HEAD PROTECTION
HELMETS
Protective helmets (hard hats) come in a variety of shapes. They may be

made of tough polyethylene or polycarbonate, one of the toughest hat materials
yet developed. When falling objects strike the hats, the shock-absorbing suspension
capabilities minimize injuries. Regular hard hats must be insulated so that
personnel may be protected from accidental head contacts with electrical circuits
and equipment at comparatively low voltages (less than 2200 volts). Electrical
workers requiring head protection necessary to their duties or to the working
environment, must wear insulating safety helmets or all purpose protective helmets
which must be capable of withstanding 20,000 volt minimum proof-tests.
 Contractors shall provide their employees with head protection in compliance with
this document or as stipulated in their contract with Chevron.
 Non-conductive (plastic) head protection in compliance with ANSI-Z89.1 shall be

 When identified as needed during the JSA.
Goggles and safety glasses are forms of protective

eyewear that usually enclose or protect the eye area in
order to prevent particulates or chemicals from striking the
eyes. They are used in chemistry laboratories and in woodworking. They are often used
in snow sports as well, and in swimming. Goggles are often worn when using power
tools such as drills or chainsaws to prevent flying particles from damaging the eyes.
Many types of goggles are available as prescription goggles for those with vision
problems
EYE AND FACE PROTECTION
Where prescription safety glasses are required, the following minimum requirements
shall apply:
 Persons wearing prescription glasses without safety lenses must wear
approved cover goggles in areas requiring eye protection.
 Where prescription glasses are required to be worn with full-face respirators, a
spectacle kit for the respirator shall be provided for the glasses in order to
preserve the respirator's seal.
Face Protection Shields must be worn in addition to safety glasses or safety goggles
when performing activities which have the potential for face injury
from flying objects during welding, hammering, grinding, grit
blasting etc., including working with chemicals.
Exceptions:
 Welders may remove their safety
glasses only when using welding goggles. (Safety glasses
shall be worn in combination with welding hoods/shields.)

Use gloves whenever you are required to handle rough, scaly, or splintery
objects. Two types are shown above. Special flameproof gloves are designed for gas
and electric welding in order to limit danger and damage from sparks and other
hot, flying objects. Personnel working with electricity are usually required to wear
insulating rubber gloves. Be sure to follow all regulations prescribed for the use of
gloves. Gloves must not be worn around rotating machinery unless sharp or rough
material is being handled. If such is the case, extreme care should be used to
prevent the gloves from being caught in the machinery.
1. Hand injuries have been identified as a high risk concern.

2. Hand protection in compliance with ANSI-105 is recommended to be worn whenever
there is an exposure to hand injury from hot surfaces, sharp objects, chemicals, etc.
3. Appropriate hand protection must be worn when handling chemicals or working
with electricity.
4. There is no one glove that can suit every purpose.
5. All supervisors shall ensure their subordinates understand, have and wear the
appropriate hand protection when assigning work or when identified as needed
during JSA’s.

INTROCTION
DRIVER TOOLS
Screwdrivers
A screwdriver amplifies the hand's turning motion to the small, specially designed tip
that is inserted into the screw's head. There are numerous tip designs for special applications
(such as appliance assembly), but the two most common are standard (also called flat, flared,
or straight) and Phillips (X-shaped) tips. The screwdriver handle can be of plastic or wood,
sometimes with a rubberized cover to improve grip. Other tips include clutch (hourglass
shape), Robertson (square), and Torx (six slots). Some fasteners can be turned either by
standard or Phillips tips.

TOURISM ACADEMY
P a g e | 64
To ensure that the screwdriver is at good condition is to check if there is

deformation on the tip of the screwdriver and the shaft should be straight with good grip on
the handle.
Wrenches
The purpose of a wrench is to turn a bolt head or nut. Selecting the appropriate wrench
depends on the fastener's design and size. It can also depend on how difficult the fastener is
to reach. Wrench types include open end, combination, adjustable, and Allen.
Some of the different types of wrenches from which you can choose are;
Box-end. A box, or closed, end wrench is used where there is room to place the
wrench mouth around the fastener. Box end wrenches are available in 6- and 12-point
versions to match the number of sides on the fastener. Hexagon fasteners have 6 sides, or
points, and are the most popular.
Open end. This type of wrench is used for turning fasteners in locations where a box end
wrench cannot encompass the fastener.
Combination. A combination wrench has ends that perform specific tasks. One end
may be open and the other closed, one may be offset and the other straight, or the two ends
might be of fractionally different sizes.

ELC724335

ASSEMBLE ELECTRONIC
TOURISM ACADEMY
P a g e | 65
Adjustable. An adjustable wrench

can be used on a variety of fastener sizes.
The disadvantage is that it is less stable
than a fixed-size wrench and can easily
injure you or damage the fastener. An
adjustable wrench should be used only if
the correct size wrench is not available.
Socket. Socket wrenches fit over the fastener,

making removal easier and safer than with other
wrenches. Sockets come in standard and extended
depth; extensions are available to make removing
fasteners easier. They are often purchased in sets by
drive size.
Allen. Called by the Allen brand name, these are used

on fasteners with a hexagonal hole in the head. Allen
wrenches are available with L- or T-shape handles.
A well conditioned wrench has a perfect jaw to fit on the bolt head or nut. Provides a
good grip when use.
SPLCING TOOLS
Pliers
The primary purpose of the tool known as pliers is to grip objects firmly. The objects
can then be turned, bent, or otherwise manipulated. Pliers have parallel handles, a pivot
where the handles join, and parallel jaws that grasp the object. Special-use pliers may have
additional components and purposes, such as cutting pliers. Types of pliers include engineer's
pliers for gripping metal, flat-nosed pliers for grasping smaller objects, electrician's pliers for
gripping electrical wires, and round-nosed pliers for bending wire into loops. The most
ELC724335

common are slip-joint and plumber's pliers, both with slip-joint adjustments to change the
width of the jaw grip. In addition, locking pliers, sometimes known by the Vice-Grip brand
name, are popular for firmly holding objects.
1. Long Nose is used for holding, bending, and stretching the lead of electronic
component or connecting wires.
2. Side Cutter is a wire-cutting pliers, though they are not used to grab or turn
anything, but are used to cut wires.
3. Wire Stripper is a pair of opposing blades much like scissors or wire cutters.
The addition of a center notch makes it easier to cut the insulation without
cutting the wire.

4. Linemen’s Plier - type of pliers used by linemen and other tradesmen primarily
for gripping, twisting, bending and cutting wireand cable. Linemen's pliers owe
their effectiveness to their plier design, which multiplies force through leverage.
Lineman's pliers have a gripping joint at their snub nose and cutting edge in
their craw. Some versions include eith er an additional gripping
or crimping device at the crux of the handle side of the pliers' joint.
SOLDERING AND DESOLDERING TOOLS
1. Soldering Iron – is a device for applying heat to melt solder in attaching two
metal parts. A soldering iron is composed
of a heated metal tip and an insulated
handle. For electrical work, wires are
usually soldered to printed circuit boards,
other wires, or small terminals. A low-
power iron (20-30 Watts) is suitable for
this work.
2. Soldering Tool Stand – is a place where

the soldering iron is placed during usage.
This will keep the soldering iron away
from flammable materials. The stand
often comes with a sponge used in
cleaning the tip of the soldering iron.

3. Metal Files These are hand tools having a series of sharp, parallel ridges or teeth.
Most files have a narrow, pointed tang at one end to which a handle can be fitted.
Flat File is parallel in width and tapered in thickness; they

are used for flat surfaces and edges.

Half Round File is tapered in width and thickness, coming
to a point, and is narrower than a standard half round and
used for filing inside of rings.

Round File - is also called rat-tail file which is gradually
tapered and used for many tasks that require a round tool,
such as enlarging round holes or cutting a scalloped edge.
4. American wire gauge (AWG), also known as the Brown & Sharpe wire gauge,
is a standardized wire gauge system used since 1857 predominantly in the United
States and Canada for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically
conducting wire.[1] The cross-sectional area of each gauge is an important factor for
determining its current-carrying capacity.

CUTTING TOOLS
1. Utility Knife is a common tool used in cutting various trades and crafts
for a variety of purposes.
2. Hacksaw is used for cutting metals. Some have pistol grips which keep the
hacksaw firm and easy to grip. The small hand-held hacksaws consist of a
metal arch with a handle that fits around a narrow, rigid blade.
Auxiliary Tools
1. Magnifying Glass is a convex lens which is used to produce a magnified

image of an object. The lens is usually mounted on a frame with a handle.
Roger Bacon is the original inventor of the magnifying glass. A magnifying
glass works by creating a magnified virtual image of an object behind the lens.
Some magnifying glasses are foldable with built-in light.

EQUIPMENT AND TESTING INSTRUMENTS
Aside from hand tools, equipment are also needed for more accurate and quality output. In
this connection, three of the most used equipment are presented here for you to be
familiar with their uses and the proper way of maintaining them.
a. Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter. It is an equipment that combines three functions: as
a voltmeter that measures both ac and dc voltages; an ohmmeter that
measures resistance; and milliammeter that measures small amount of dc
current. As safety precautions in the maintenance of this instrument, the
following should be observed:
 Always rest the function switch at 250V AC if an OFF position is not
available in the instrument.
 For current and voltage measurements, always set the function switch
in the correct setting which is a little higher than the expected current or
voltage present in the circuit.
 Place the instrument in a cool dry place, away from any magnetic
devices, and free from vibrations.
There are many types of and varieties of test and measuring equipments that are now
used in audio and video systems repair and diagnosis. Most instruments and equipments are
used to measure DC voltage, resistance, AC voltage and DC current values. The most basic
instrument that is still commonly used is the VOM or Multimeter.

ELC724335
January, 2018
ASSEMBLE ELECTRONIC
TOURISM ACADEMY
P a g e | 72
However there are types of instruments under the category of multimeters that are
being used today because of their special functions and high accuracy such as the DVOM
(digital VOM).
b. Oscilloscope. An oscilloscope (commonly abbreviated CRO, for cathode-ray

oscilloscope, or scope) is a piece of electronic test equipment that allows signal
voltages to be viewed, usually as a two-dimensional graph of one or more
electrical potential differences (vertical axis) plotted as a function of time or of
some other voltage (horizontal axis).
An oscilloscope, is fundamentally a voltmeter, although it is a
comparatively sophisticated type of instrument that displays the variation of an
AC voltage in time, it also shows instantaneous waveform values. An
oscilloscope indicates frequency values and can also be used for phase
measurements.
Modern oscilloscopes are designed to measure time intervals between
chosen points along the waveform.

c. Signal generator. A signal generator is a device which produces simple

wave forms.This instrument provides sine waves, square waves and
triangular waves used purposely to substitute signals
Signal Generator
Such devices contain an electronic oscillator, a circuit that is capable of creating a

repetitive waveform. These are typically used in simple electronics repair and design where
they are used to stimulate a circuit under test.

Oscilloscope and signal generator should be given regular checkup for at least once a
week by connecting them in the power line. This will help prevent their components from
having moisture that might cause trouble in their circuits.
In any activity involving skills, it is a standard procedure that you must always use
the right tool or equipment properly that would fit in a particular task. In spite of this
reminder or caution, some students abuse the use of tools and still practice the following
common faults that must NOT be done.
Common Faults in Using Hand Tools
Pliers:

Do not increase the handle length of pliers to gain more leverage. Use a larger pair
of pliers or bolt cutters if necessary.

Do not substitute pliers for a wrench when turning bolts and nuts. Pliers cannot grip
these items properly and might cause a slip and create an accident.

Never use pliers as a hammer on the handle. Such abuse is likely to result in
cracks or breaks.

Cut hardened wires only with pliers designed for that purpose.

Always cut the wires in right angle. Never rock from side to side or bend wire back
and forth against the cutting edges.
Screwdrivers:

Never use screwdrivers as a pry bar, chisel, and punch stirrer or scraper.

Never use screwdrivers with broken or worn-out handles. Screwdrivers of these
kinds should have tags to indicate that it is defective.

Never use pliers on a screwdriver for extra leverage. Only use wrench or
screwdrivers specifically designed for purpose.
Utility Knives/ Blades:

Do not use dull blades because they require more force, thus are more likely to slip. 

Replace the blade when it starts to “tear” instead of cut.

Never leave a knife unattended with the blade exposed.

Don’t bend or apply side loads to blades by using them to open cans or loosen
tight cover of containers. Blades are brittle and can snap easily. 

HOW TO OPERATE MULTITESTER (VOM)
A multimeter is an instrument used to check the AC or DC voltages, resistance and

continuity of electrical components, and small amounts of current in circuits. This instrument
will let you check to see if there is voltage present on a circuit. By doing so, a multimeter can
help you achieve a variety of useful tasks, such as measuring ohms, volts, and amps.
DIFFERENT PARTS OF A NALOG MULTI TESTER
Analog multitesters are those

that have a moving needle that
stops on a number that is printed
on the background behind the
moving needle. The number that
the needle stops on indicates
the volts, ohms or amps the
meter is measuring depending
on how the control knob is set.
Analog multimeters are cheaper
than digital multimeters but not
as robust or simple to use.
Analog multimeters are
preferred by some technicians
because the movement of the
needle can show you some things that are not so obvious with digital multimeters.
PARTS AND FUNCTION OF ANALOG MULTITESTER

1. Pointer or Needle – indicates the values read from the scale
2. Scale – shows the value of what is being measured
3. Dial/Infinity Knob – points the needle to the 0 at the left side of the scale
4. Zero Ohm Adjuster – adjusts the needle to the right side of the scale
5. Range Selector Knob – allows changing the function and scale
6. Range – allows more accurate measurement for small values

ELC724335
January, 2018
ASSEMBLE ELECTRONIC
TOURISM ACADEMY
P a g e | 76
7. Test Probes – Positive probe (red) and Negative Probe (black) are used to connect
to the circuit or device under test.
GETTING FAMILIAR WITH ANALOG MULTITESTER
6. Locate the dial of your

multimeter. This has the arc-shaped
scales visible through the window
and a pointer which will indicate the
values read from the scale.[1]
 The arc-shaped marks on the meter
dial face may be different colors that
indicate each scale, so they will have
different values. These determine the
ranges of magnitude.
 A wider mirror-like surface shaped
like the scales might also be present.
The mirror is used to help reduce
what's called "parallax viewing
error," by lining up the pointer with its reflection before reading the value the pointer is
indicating. In the image, it appears as a wide
gray strip between the red and black scales.
 Many newer multimeters have digital
readouts, rather than the analog scale. The
function is basically the same, you'll just get a
numerical readout.
7. Find the selector switch, or knob. This

allows you to change the function
between volts, ohms, and amps, and to
change the scale (x1, x10, etc.) of the
meter. Many functions have multiple

ELC724335
January, 2018
ASSEMBLE ELECTRONIC
TOURISM ACADEMY
P a g e | 77
ranges, so it's important to have both set correctly, otherwise serious damage to the
meter or harm to the operator may result.
Some meters have an "Off" position on this selector switch while others have a separate
switch to turn the meter off. The meter should be set to "Off" when stored and not in use.
8. Locate the openings in the case where you'll insert the test leads. Most multimeters have
several jacks used for this purpose.
One is usually labeled "COM" or
(-), which stands for for common.
This is where the black test lead
will be connected. It will be used
for nearly every measurement
taken.
The other jack or jacks should be
labeled "V" (+) and the Omega
symbol (an upside down
horseshoe) for Volts and Ohms,
respectively.
The + and - symbols represent
the polarity of probes when set
for and testing DC volts. If the
test leads were installed as
suggested, the red lead would be positive as
compared to the black test lead. This is nice to know when the circuit under test isn't labeled +
or -, as is usually the case.
Many meters have additional jacks that are required for current or high-voltage tests. It is
equally important to have the test leads connected to the proper jacks as it is to have the
selector switch range and test type (volts, amps, ohms) set. All must be correct. Consult the
meter manual if you're unsure which jacks should be used.

ELC724335
January, 2018
ASSEMBLE ELECTRONIC
TOURISM ACADEMY
P a g e | 78
4. Locate the test leads. There should

be two test leads or probes.
Generally, one is black and the other
red. These are used to connect to
whatever device you're planning on
testing and measuring.
5. Find the battery and fuse
compartment. This is usually found
on the back, but is also sometimes
on the side of some models. This
holds the fuse (and possibly a spare), and the battery that supplies power to the meter
for resistance tests.

ELC724335
January, 2018
ASSEMBLE ELECTRONIC
TOURISM ACADEMY
P a g e | 79
The meter may have more than one battery and they may be of different sizes. A fuse is
provided to help protect the meter movement. Likewise, there is often more than one
fuse. A good fuse is required for
the meter to function, and fully
charged batteries will be
required for
resistance/continuity tests.
6. Find the Zero Adjustment

knob. This is a small knob
usually located near the
dial that is labeled
"Ohms Adjust," "0 Adj,"
or something similar.
This is used only in the
ohms or resistance range,
while the probes are shorted
together (touching each other).
Rotate the knob slowly to move the needle as close to the 0 position on the Ohms scale
as possible. If new batteries are installed, this should be easy to do - a needle that will
not go to zero indicates weak batteries that should be replaced.

MEASURING RESISTANCE
1. Set the multimeter to Ohms

or Resistance. Turn the meter on
if it has a separate power switch.
When multimeter measures
resistance in ohms, it can not
measure continuity because
resistance and continuity are
opposites. When there is little
resistance, there will be a great
deal of continuity, and vice versa.
With this in mind, you can make
assumptions about continuity
based on the resistance values
measured.
Find the Ohm scale on the dial. It
is usually the top-most scale and
has values that are highest on the left of the dial ("∞" or a sideways "8" for infinity), gradually
reducing to 0 on the right. This is opposite of the other scales, which have the lowest values
on the left and increase
going right.
2. Observe the meter
indication. If the test
leads are not in contact
with anything, the
needle or pointer of an
analog meter will rest
at the left-most
position. This
represents an infinite
amount of resistance,

ELC724335
January, 2018
ASSEMBLE ELECTRONIC
TOURISM ACADEMY
P a g e | 81
or an "open circuit." It's safe to say there is the no continuity, or path between the black
and red probes.
3 Connect the test leads. Connect

the black test lead to the jack
marked "Common" or "-". Then,
connect the red test lead to the jack
marked with the Omega (Ohm
symbol) or letter "R" near it.
Set the range (if provided) to R x
100.
4 Hold the probes at the end of the test leads together. The meter pointer should move fully to
the right. Locate the "Zero Adjust" knob
and rotate it so that the meter
indicates "0" (or as
close to "0" as
possible).
Note that
this
position is the "short
circuit" or "zero ohms"
indication for this R x 1
range of this meter.
Always remember to "zero"
the meter immediately after changing resistance ranges or you'll get a faulty reading.
If you're unable to obtain a zero ohm indication, this may mean the batteries are weak and
should be replaced. Retry the zeroing step above again with fresh batteries.

5 Measure the resistance of something like a light bulb that you know is good.Locate the two
electrical contact points of the bulb.
They will be the threaded base
and the center of the bottom of
the base.
Have a helper hold the bulb by
the glass only.
Press the black probe against the
threaded base and the red probe
against the center tab on the
bottom of the base. Watch
the needle move from
resting at the left and
move quickly to 0 on the
right.
7. Try different ranges. Change the

range of the meter to R x 1. Zero
the meter again for this range and
repeat the step above. Observe how
the meter did not go as far to the
right as before. The scale of
resistance has been changed so
that each number on the R scale
can be read directly.
In the previous step, each number
represented a value that was 100
times greater. Thus, 150 really was
15,000 before. Now, 150 is just 150.
Had the R x 10 scale been selected,
150 would have been 1,500. The scale selected is very important for accurate measurements.
With this understanding, study the R scale. It is not linear like the other scales. Values at the
left side are harder to accurately read than those on the right. Trying to read 5 ohms on the

ELC724335

ASSEMBLE ELECTRONIC
TOURISM ACADEMY
P a g e | 83
meter while in the R x 100 range would look like 0. It would be much easier at the R x 1 scale
instead. This is why when testing resistance, adjust the range so that the readings may be
taken from the middle rather than the extreme left or right sides.
7 Test resistance between
hands. Set the meter to the highest R x
value possible and zero the meter.
Loosely hold a probe in each hand and
read the meter. Squeeze both probes
tightly. Notice the resistance is
reduced.
Let go of the probes and wet your
hands. Hold the probes again. Notice
that the resistance is lower still.
8 Make sure your reading is accurate. It's very important that the probes not touch anything
other than the device being tested. A device that has burned out will not show "open" on the
meter when testing if your fingers provide an alternate path around the device, like when they
are touching the probes.
Testing round cartridge
type and older style glass
automotive fuses will
indicate low values of
resistance if the fuse is
lying on a metal surface
when under test. The
meter indicates the
resistance of the metal
surface that the fuse is
resting upon (providing an
alternate path between
the red and black probe
around the fuse) instead of trying to determine resistance through the fuse. Every fuse in this
case, good or bad, will indicate "good," giving you a faulty analysis.

MEASURNG VOLTAGE
1 Set the meter for the highest

range provided for AC Volts. Many
times, the voltage to be measured
has a value that is unknown. For
this reason, the highest range
possible is selected so that the
meter circuitry and movement will
not be damaged by voltage greater
than expected.
If the meter were set to the 50 volt
range and a common U.S. electrical
outlet were to be tested, the 120
volts present could irreparably
damage the meter. Start high and work downward to the lowest range that can be safely
displayed.
2 Insert your test probes. Insert the black
probe in the "COM" or "-" jack. Next, insert the
red probe in the "V" or "+" jack.
3 Locate the voltage scales. There may be

several Volt scales with different maximum
values. The range chosen by the selector knob
determines which voltage scale to read. The

maximum value scale should coincide with
selector knob ranges. The voltage scales,
unlike the Ohm scales, are linear. The scale is
accurate anywhere along its length. It will of
course be much easier accurately reading 24
volts on a 50 volt scale than on a 250 volt
scale, where it might look like it is anywhere
between 20 and 30 volts.

4 Test a common electrical outlet. In the US, you might

expect 120 volts or even 240 volts. In other places, 240 or
380 volts might be expected.
Press the black probe into one of the straight slots. It
should be possible to let go of the black probe, as the
contacts behind the face of the outlet should grip the
probe, much like it does when a plug is inserted.
Insert the red probe into the other straight slot. The
meter should indicate a voltage very close to 120
or 240 volts (depending on type outlet tested).
5. Remove the probes. Rotate the

selector knob to the lowest range
offered that is greater than the
voltage indicated (120 or 240).
6. Reinsert the probes as
previously. The meter may indicate
between 110 and as much as 125
volts this time. The range of the meter
is important to obtain accurate
measurements.
If the pointer did not move, it is likely
that DC was chosen instead of AC.
The AC and DC modes are not
compatible. The correct mode must be
set. If not set correctly, the user would
mistakenly believe there was no
voltage present, which could be a
dangerous mistake.
Be sure to try both modes if the pointer
does not move. Set meter to AC volts
mode, and try again.

7.Try not to hold

both. Whenever possible,
try to connect at least one
probe in such a way that it
will not be required to hold
both while making tests.
Some meters have
accessories that include
alligator
clips or
other
types of
clamps that will assist doing this.
Minimizing your contact with electrical
circuits drastically reduces that chances
of sustaining burns or injury.
MEASURING CURRENT
1 Make sure you've
measured the voltage
first. You need to determine
whether or not the circuit is
AC or DC by measuring the
voltage of the circuit as
described in previous steps.
2 Set the meter to the highest

AC or DC Amp range
supported. If the circuit to be
tested is AC but the meter
will only measure DC amps
(or vice versa), stop. The meter must be able to measure the same mode (AC or DC) amps as
the voltage in the circuit, otherwise it will indicate 0.

Be aware that most multimeters will only measure

extremely small amounts of current, in the uA and
mA ranges. 1 uA is .000001 amp and 1 mA is .001
amp. These are values of current that flow only in
the most delicate electronic circuits, and are
literally thousands (and even millions) of
times smaller than values seen in the home
and automotive circuits that most
homeowners would be interested testing.
Just for reference, a typical 100W / 120V light bulb
will draw .833 Amps. This amount of current would
likely damage the meter beyond repair.
3. Consider using a "clamp-on" ammeter. Ideal for the homeowner, this meter
were to be used to measure current through a 4700 ohm resistor across 9 Volts DC.
To do this, insert the black
probe into the "COM" or "-" jack
and insert the red probe into the
"A" jack.
Shut off power to the circuit.
Open the portion of the circuit that
is to be tested (one lead or the other of
the resistor). Insert the meter
in series with the circuit such that it completes the
circuit. An ammeter is placed in series with the circuit
to measure current. It cannot be placed "across" the
circuit the way a voltmeter is used (otherwise the meter will
probably be damaged).
Observe the polarity. Current flows from the positive side to the
negative side. Set the range of current to the highest value.
Apply power and adjust range
of meter downward to allow accurate reading of pointer on the dial. Do not exceed the range
of the meter, otherwise it may be damaged. A reading of about 2 milliamps should be
indicated since from Ohm's law I = V / R = (9 volts)/(4700 Ω) = .00191 amps = 1.91 mA.

4 Be wary of any filter capacitors or

other elements that
require an inrush
(surge) current
when switched
on. Even if the
operating current is
low and within the
range of the meter fuse, the surge can be many times higher than the
operating current, because the empty filter
capacitors are almost like a short circuit.
Blowing the meter fuse is almost certain if the
DUT's (device under test) inrush current is
many times higher than the fuses rating. In
any case, always use the higher range
measurement protected by the
higher fuse rating and be
careful.
THE DIGITAL MULTIMETER

Introduction
Digital multimeters, also known as DMMs, are among the most widely used
electronic testing instruments. DMMs are often referred to as the tape measure of the new
millennium. DMMs consolidate the functions of multiple instrum ents such as voltmeters,
ammeters and ohmmeters into one unit.
A basic DMM works with energized and de-energized electrical circuits and
measures alternating current (AC), AC voltage, direct current (DC), DC voltage, resistance,
continuity and diodes. Advanced models also measure capacitance, frequency,
temperature, pressure and vacuum (special accessories are required for some of these
measurements). It’s important to note that anytime you work with current (AC or DC) and
voltage you need to use extreme caution. To avoid catastrophic consequences, safe
practices must be followed whenever working with electricity.

There are broad applications for

the use of DMMs particularly for
processes involving electrical
engineering design, maintenance,
quality control, inspection and any
application requiring electrical
servicing and diagnostic testing
PARTS AND FUNCTION OF A DIGITAL MULTIMETER
1. Function/Range Switch: selects the function

(voltmeter, ammeter, or ohmmeter) and the range
for the measurement.
2. COM Input Terminal:Common ground, used in
ALL measurements.
3. V Input Terminal: for voltage or
resistance measurements.
4. 200 mA Input Terminal: for small current
measurements.
5. 10 A Input Terminal: for large current measurements.
6. Low Battery LCD: appears when the battery needs
replacement.

MULTIMETER SELECTION AND FUNCTIONS
To choose a DMM that is best for your application, first consider resolution, digit and
accuracy.
Resolution refers to how fine a measurement a meter can make. By knowing the
resolution of a meter you can determine if it is possible to see a small change in the
measured signal. The terms digits and counts are used to describe a meter’s resolution.
DMMs are grouped by the number of counts or digits they display. A 3 ½-digit meter can
display three full digits ranging from 0-9 and one half digit which displays only a “1” or is left
blank. A 3 ½ digit meter will display up to 1,999 counts of resolution and a 4 ½ digit meter
can display up to 19,999 counts of resolution. Some DMMs may have enhanced resolution
offering higher counts within their digit range.
Accuracy is the largest allowable error in the readings. It’s an indication of how close the
DMM’s displayed measurement is to the actual value of the signal being measured.
Accuracy is generally expressed as a percent of the reading. An accuracy of one percent of
the reading means that for a display of 100 volts, the actual value of the voltage could be
somewhere between 99 and 101 volts.
Autoranging, or dialing, is also a useful multimeter feature. It allows the user to
quickly move from the instruments various measuring scales while maintaining accurate
readings.
Another important consideration to take into account when selecting a DMM is
whether it is a True RMS (root mean square) meter. The typical DMM is not a True RMS
meter and as a result it will produce misleading voltage readings when used to measure
anything other than DC signals or pure sine wave AC signals. True RMS meters allow non-
sinusoidal AC signals to be accurately measured.
Safety Considerations
DMMS are designed with different levels of protection against common electrical
hazards. Therefore, when selecting a DMM you must thoroughly understand the test
equipment and test requirements. Three key characteristics to consider are the maximum
voltage rating of the circuit, transient voltage rating of the circuit and the energy capacity.
Practice safety when using a DMM:
Use meters within their rating

overview of DMM safety.
MEASRUING RESISTANCE
1. Connect the multimeter to the circuit. Insert the black probe into the common terminal and
the red probe into the terminal marked for
measuring volts and ohms. The terminal may
also be marked for testing diodes.
2 Twist the selector knob to set the multimeter to

measure resistance. This may be represented by
the Greek letter Omega, which stands for ohms,
the unit of measurement for resistance.
3.Turn off power to the circuit.

4.Remove the resistor you want to

measure. If you leave the resistor in the
circuit you may not get an accurate reading.
5.Touch the tips of the probes to each side

of the resistor.
6 Read the display, taking care to note the

units. A reading of 10 may indicate 10 ohms,
10 kilo-ohms or 10 mega-ohms.

PRECAUTIONS FOR RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS

1. Turn the power off to the device and discharge any capacitors!
2. Plug the black test lead into the COM jack.
3. Plug the red test lead into the V jack.
4. Set the function/range switch to ohms ( ) in the lower left.
5. If you do not know the approximate resistance about to be measured, use the largest
range available.
6. Connect the free ends of the red and black test leads ACROSS the device to the
measured. Resistance is always measured with the meter in PARALLEL with the device.
7. If the LCD displays either "1." or "-1." with all other digits blank, the resistance is beyond
the selected range. Use the switch to select a larger range.
8. Once you know the approximate resistance of the device,
then use the switch to select the lowest range that will still
accomodate the resistance of the device.
MEASURING VOLTAGE
Picture of a meter in parallel with device

Measure voltage and resistance this way:
1 Connect the multimeter to a

circuit. Put the black probe in the
common terminal and the red probe in the
terminal marked for measuring volts and
ohms.
2 Set the multimeter for the voltage you're

measuring. You can measure volts DC
(direct current), millivolts DC or volts AC
(alternating current). If your multimeter has
an auto-range function, it's not necessary
to select the voltage you're measuring.

3Measure AC voltage by placing the probes across

the component. It's not necessary to observe polarity.
4 Observe polarity when measuring DC

voltage or millivoltage. Place the black
probe on the negative side of the
component and the red probe on the
positive side.
5 Read the display, taking care to note

the units. If you prefer, you can use the
touch-hold feature to keep the reading
on the display after you remove the
probes. The multimeter will beep each
time a new voltage is detected.

Precautions for Voltage Measurements

2. Plug the red test lead into the V jack.
3. Set the function/range switch to either
4. DC volts in the upper left, or
5. AC volts in the upper right.
6. If you do not know the approximate voltage about to be measured, use the largest voltage
range available.
7. Connect the free ends of the red and black test leads ACROSS the device to the
measured. Voltage is always measured with the meter in PARALLEL with the device.
8. If the LCD displays either "1." or "-1." with all other digits blank, the voltage is beyond the
selected range. Use the switch to select a larger range.
9. Once you know the approximate voltage across the device, then use the switch to select
the lowest voltage range that will still accomodate the voltage across the device. For
example:
Range Actual value Display Comments
1000 VDC 18.75 V 19 Reduce range
200 VDC 18.75 V 18.8 Reduce range
20 VDC 18.75 V 18.75 Correct range
2 VDC 18.75 V 1. Overload - increase range
MEASURING CURRENT
The measurements of voltage and resistance are most simple and can be done with
certain precaution if required. But in the case of current measurement firm precaution is
obligatory. Reading current is quite tricky because current should be measured in series. To
do so, the flow of current is interrupted and keeps the digital multimeter in-line so that current
passes through DMM. The rest of the connection is same as done in the case of voltage
measurement and resistance.

Picture of a meter in series with device

Measure current this way:
Digital multimeter has two ports; A and µA
mA for measurement of current. The reason behind
the two ports is to avoid overloading. In digital
multimeter current has to pass through a fuse and if
large current passes through the fuse it will blow
out. A port is designated for large current and µA
mA for small current. For measuring large current,
plug one of the cords in A port and other in COM
port. For measuring small current in a circuit, plug
one cord in µA mA and the other in COM. While
doing the connection, one more thing keeps in
consideration and that is the direction of the current.
A multimeter is connected in such a way that
current enters from A port and leaves the DMM from the COM port, as shown in a figure.
Most of the multimeter uses direct current. But if the circuit is drawing alternate current then
you should use non-contact tester rather than the multimeter.
1 Choose either the terminal marked for measuring 10
amps or the one marked for measuring 300 milliamps
(mA). If you're unsure of the current, start in the 10 amp
terminal until you're sure the current is less than 300
milliamps.
2 Set the multimeter to measure current. This may

be represented by the letter A.

3 Turn off power to the circuit.
4 Break the circuit. To measure

current, you must place the
multimeter in series with the circuit.
Place the probes on either side of
the break, observing polarity (black
probe on negative side, red probe
on positive side.)
5 Turn the power on. The current will run through

the circuit, up the red probe and through the
multimeter, then out the black probe and into the
circuit.

6 Read the display, remembering

whether you are measuring amps or
milliamps.You can use the touch-
hold feature if desired.
Precautions for Current Measurements

1. Turn the power off to the device and discharge any capacitors!
3. Plug the red test lead into either the
 200 mA jack for small current measurements, or the
 10 A jack for large current measurements.
4. If you do not know the approximate current about to be measured, use the 10 A jack.
5. Set the function/range switch to either
 DC amperes in the lower right, or
 AC amperes in the middle right.
6. Break open the circuit at the point where you want to measure the current by removing
one of the wires. Connect the free end of the red test lead to one place at which the wire
was attached. Connect the free end of the black test lead to the other place at which the
wire was attached. Current is always measured with the meter in SERIES with the device.
If you do not understand the difference between SERIES and PARALLEL, ask your TA.
Using the current meter incorrectly will blow the fuse or damage the meter. Reapply the
power to the device.
7. If the LCD displays either "1." or "-1." with all other digits blank, the current is beyond the
selected range. Use the switch to select a larger range.

the lowest current range that will still accomodate the current through the device.
9. Turn the power off to the device before removing the meter from the circuit.
TESTING DIODE USING MULTIMETER

1 Insert the black probe into the common terminal and the
red probe into the terminal marked for measuring ohms,
volts or diode test.
2 Use the selector knob to choose the test diode

function. This may be represented by a symbol
representing a diode, an arrow pointing at a vertical line.
3 Turn the power off to the circuit.

4 Test forward bias. Place the red probe on the

positive side of the diode and the black probe on
the negative side. If you get a reading of less
than 1 but more than 0, the forward bias is
good.
5 Reverse the probes to test reverse bias. If

the display reads "OL (overload)," this
indicates that reverse bias is good.
6 A reading of "OL" or 0 while testing forward bias,

and 0 while testing reverse bias indicates that the
diode is bad.
Some multimeters will beep when the reading is less
than 1. This doesn't necessarily indicate a good
diode,
because
a shorted
diode will also cause a beep.
MEASURING CONTINUITY
1. Put the black probe into the common terminal
and the red probe into the terminal used to
measure volts and ohms.
2. Set the multimeter to the same setting you use
to test diodes.
