  • Page 2: Theory Of Operation

    Remember, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. THEORY OF OPERATION A block diagram of the M-2666K is shown in Figure 1. Operation centers around a custom LSI chip. This IC contains a dual slope A/D converter, display, latches, decoder and the display driver.
  • Page 3 A/D CONVERTER A simplified circuit diagram of the analog portion of the A/D converter is shown in Figure 2. Each of the switches shown represent analog gates which are operated by the digital section of the A/D converter. Basic timing for switch operation is keyed by an external oscillator.
  • Page 4 VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT Figure 3 shows a simplified diagram of the voltage measurement function. The input divider resistors add up 10M step being a division of 10. The divider output should be within –0.199 to +0.199V or the overload Volts 900k Common Figure 3 Simplified Voltage Measurement Diagram CURRENT MEASUREMENT...
  • Page 5 RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS Figure 5 shows a simplified diagram of the resistance measurement function. External Resistor Figure 5 Simplified Resistance Measurement Diagram A simple series circuit is formed by the voltage source, a reference resistor from the voltage divider (selected by range switches), and the external unknown resistor.

  • Page 7 ASSEMBLY The meter kit has been divided into a number of sections to make the assembly easy and avoid major problems with the meter operation. ONLY OPEN COMPONENT BAGS THAT ARE CALLED FOR IN YOUR ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE. DO NOT OPEN ANY OTHER BAGS. Do not build more than one section of your meter at a time.
  • Page 8 CONSTRUCTION Introduction The most important factor in assembling your M-2666 Digital Multimeter Kit is good soldering techniques. Using the proper soldering iron is of prime importance. A small pencil type soldering iron of 25 - 40 watts is recommended. The tip of the iron must be kept clean at all times and well tinned.
  • Page 9 IDENTIFYING RESISTOR VALUES Use the following information as a guide in properly identifying the value of resistors. PART IDENTIFICATION CARDS M-2666K To help identify the resistors and diodes used in the construction of your digital SECTION A multimeter we have mounted the diodes and resistors of each section onto a card.
  • Page 10 RESISTOR READING EXERCISE Before starting assembly of your digital multimeter project, you should be thoroughly familiar with the 5 band color code system. Many of the resistor values will be identified by color bands and it is easy to mistake their value if you read the colors (1) yellow-black-black-black-brown (3) brown-red-violet-red-brown (5) brown-black-black-black-brown...
