Page 8: Unpacking And Inspection
If any of the items are damaged or missing, return the complete package to the place of purchase for an exchange. INTRODUCTION Multimeter AM-250 can be used to measure voltage, resistance, capacitance, frequency, current and temperature; It is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. AM-250 multimeter... -
Page 9: Resistance, And Continuity Functions
Note: 1) AC 400.0mV range selection is by RANGE button manually, and is specified from AC 10mV and up. 2) DC 400.0mV range is designed with 1000Me high input impedance for least current drain in measuring small signals, and can cope better with most commercially available voltage output transducers and adapters. -
Page 10: Diode Test,Capacitance Functions
Caution � Using Resistance, Continuity, Diode or Capacitance function in a live circuit will produce false results and may damage the instrument. In many cases the suspected component must be disconnected from the circuit to obtain an accurate measurement reading. Diode test,Capacitance functions Defaults at e. -
Page 11: Μa, Ma, And A Current Functions
Caution � Discharge capacitors before making any measurement. Large value capacitors should be discharged through an appropriate resistance load µA, mA, and A Current functions Default at DC. Press SELECT button momentarily to select AC. Caution � When measuring a 3-phase system, special attention should be taken to the phase-to-phase voltage which is significantly higher than the phase- to-earth voltage. -
