  • Page 4 Introduction Assembly of your M-1005K Digital Multimeter Kit will prove to be an exciting project and give you much satisfaction and personal achievement. If you have experience in soldering and wiring techniques, then you should have no problem with the assembly of this kit.
  • Page 5 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Identify and install the following parts as shown in Figure 4-1. After soldering each part, mark a check in the box provided. Be sure that solder has not bridged to an adjacent pad. C3 - .1 F (104) Mylar Small C2 - .1 F (104) Mylar Small VR1 - 200 (201) Potentiometer (see Figure A)
  • Page 6 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Identify and install the following parts as shown in Figure 4-2. After soldering each part, mark a check in the box provided. Be sure that solder has not bridged to an adjacent pad. IC - Socket 40-pin IC - 7106 (see Figure D) R11 - 9k 1% 1/4W Resistor (white-black-black-brown-brown)
  • Page 7 Install the following parts. Then, place a check mark in the box provided. Spring Solder the 1/2 inch spring to the PC board as shown in Figure 4-3. This spring will contact the metal shield on the case bottom when the bottom is installed.
  • Page 8 Remove the clear protective film from the front of the LCD (Note: Clear Protective Film DO NOT remove the silver backing). Place the LCD and zebras in the LCD frame as shown in Figure 4-5. Be sure that the LCD tab is in the same direction as shown in the figure.

    If any of these tests fail: a) Check that the battery is good. b) Check that IC1 is installed according to Figure 4-2 of the assembly instructions. Check for bent pins that do not extend into the IC socket. Check for good contact between the leads of the IC and the pins of the socket. c) Check the values of resistors R14, R15, R19, R20, R23 - R25.
  • Page 11 AC VOLTS TEST To test the ACV ranges, we will need a source of AC voltage. The AC power line is the most convenient. CAUTION: Be very careful when working with 120VAC. Be sure that the range switch is in the 200 or 750VAC position before connecting the test leads to 120VAC.

    Battery THEORY OF OPERATION A block diagram of the M-1005K is shown in Figure 7-1. Operation centers around a custom LSI chip. This chip contains a dual slope A/D (analog to digital) converter, display latches, seven segment decoder and display drivers.
  • Page 13 For resistance measurements, an internal voltage source drives the test resistor in series with a known resistor. The ratio of the test resistor voltage to the known resistor voltage is used to determine the value of the test resistor. The input of the 7106 IC is fed to an A/D converter. Here the DC voltage is changed to a digital format. The resulting signals are processed in the decoders to light the appropriate LCD segments.

  • Page 15: Dc Voltage Measurement

    DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT Figure 7-4 shows a simplified diagram of the DC voltage measurement function. The input voltage divider resistors add up to 1 megaohm. Each step down divides the voltage by a factor of ten. The divider output must be within the range -0.199 to +0.199 volts or the overload indicator will function.
  • Page 16: Resistance Measurement

    RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT Figure 7-7 shows a simplified diagram of the resistance measurement function. A simple series circuit is formed by the voltage source, a reference resistor from the voltage divider (selected by the selector switches), and the test (unknown) resistor. The ratio of the two resistors is equal to the ratio of their respective voltage drops.
  • Page 17: Meter Operation

    METER OPERATION PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATIONS FOR MEASUREMENT 1) Be sure the battery is connected to the battery snap and correctly placed in the battery compartment. 2) Before connecting the test leads to the circuit, be sure the range switch is set to the correct position. 3) Be sure that the test leads are connected to the correct meter terminals before connecting them to the circuit.
