    FINAL ASSEMBLY Install the push button switch to the front panel in the hole marked “TEST”. Fasten switch in place with the 1/4” nut. Tighten the nut with pliers (be careful not to scratch the panel). Strip the insulation off both ends of the blue wire to expose 1/4”...
  • Page 7 Mount the front panel to the switches on the PC board, using four #4 screws or 4-40 x 1/4” screws and four 4-40 nuts, see Figure K. Remove the colored boots from the four alligator clips (to remove the boots, clip the alligator clip onto a pencil and slide the boot off).
  • Page 8 CHECKING OUT YOUR TRANSISTOR/DIODE TESTER The following is a simple procedure for testing your DT-100. If the tests fail, refer to the trouble shooting guide for help. Diode Operation: 1.) Place the switch in the diode position. Short the black and red leads together and push in the test button.
  • Page 9: Transistor Testing

    Transistor Testing The DT-100 can measure transistors in or out of circuit. It will identify NPN or PNP by a simple adjustment. Transistor testing - Out of Circuit 1. Place switch in transistor position. 2. Place transistor in socket or attach to C,B,E leads. If collector C, base B and emitter E are not known, assume B is the center lead on small plastic transistors and C the metal case or tab on power transistors.

    TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE If any problems occur, first check your wiring and soldering. Keep in mind that most problems are due to poor soldering or wiring errors. Be sure that there are no solder shorts, poor connections or wiring errors. Check that the battery is connected. Be sure that the transistors are in correctly. Check the LEDs.
