Is an indispensable for a technician as firearms for a
Soldier. The interpretation of readings gives technician
Clues to trouble-shooting.

 1. Before taking a measurement,
the pointer position should be
confirmed to zero on the top
ohm scale.
2. With the + and COM terminals
shorted together, the meter is
adjusted by turning the zero
ohm adj. to the right or left in
order to place on zero at right.
3. Always set the meter pointer on
the highest range of there
function, if measuring an unknown
voltage or current.

Voltmeter:

Is used when it is
necessary to
determine the
presence or absence
of an electrical
pressure or voltage on
a unit under test.

Tester has two voltmeter

functions:

1. AC or alternating
current
2. DC or Direct current
DC VOLTMETER:

1. When operating on .1 volt range, we utilize the 10 volts scale and

Shift the decimal two places to the left. (.01 as multiplier )
