5. Preparation for Testing 5-1 Removing the Cover Model 3131A has a dedicated cover to protect against an impact from the outside and prevent the operation part, and the connector socket from becoming dirty. Remove the cover and put it on the back side of the main body to make measurements. -
Page 10: Mechanical Zero Adjustment
5-2 Mechanical Zero Adjustment Check that the pointer lines up with the middle of the mark on the scale correctly. If not, adjust it by rotating the meter movement zero adjust with a screwdriver, etc. 5-3 Battery Voltage Check ① Set the range selector switch to BATT. CHECK position. ②... -
Page 11: Operation
6. Operation 6-1 Disconnection and check of power source of circuit under test DANGER ● To avoid possible electrical shock, do not perform measurements on energized (LIVE) circuits. ● Never make measurements with the battery compartment cover removed. CAUTION ● Never press the test button if the live circuit warning LED is lit or the warning buzzer sounds. -
Page 12: Insulation Resistance Measurement
6-2 Insulation Resistance Measurement DANGER ● Always test the circuit or equipment to ensure it is surely de-energized before measurement according to the instruction of 6-1. ● To avoid electrical shock, measurements must be performed on de- energized circuits only. ●... -
Page 13: Continuity Testing (Resistance Tests)
DANGER Do not touch the circuit under test immediately after testing. Capacitance stored in the circuit may cause electric shock. Leave the test probe connected to the circuit and never touch the circuit until the discharge is completed. Principle of Insulation Resistance Measurement Resistance value can be obtained by applying a certain high voltage to the resistance (insulation resistance) and measuring the flowing current. -
Page 14: Continuous Measurement
① Set the range selector switch to the desired position xΩor x 10Ω. ② Short the line probe (red) and the earth clip of the test probe (black) and press the test button. Adjust the ohm zero adjust to zero the pointer on the scale. -
