DESCRIPTION OF PANEL 1.888 1. Power Switch/Range Selector. For selecting measurement ranges and switching Power ON 2. Function Switch. Switch for selecting functions. 3. Display 3.5 digit LCD from 0 to 1999 counts. 4. Test Leads. Red test lead for positive (+) polarity, Black test lead for negative (-) polarity.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Extreme care should be taken when reading high voltages. DO NOT exceed maximum voltage for which the meter is designed. DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT 1. Set function switch to V position 2. Set range switch to desired position. If magnitude of voltage is unknown beforehand, set the switch to its highest range and then reduce until satisfactory reading is obtained.
DC CURRENT MEASUREMENT 1. Set function switch to A position. 2. Set range switch to 200 mA position. Readings can be taken from other positions, but the decimal point will not be in correct position. 3. Open circuit to be measured, and connect leads in series with the load in which current is to be measured.
DIODE & CONTINUITY TEST 1. Set function switch to Ω position. 2. Set range switch to ( ) position. 3. Connect the red lead to the anode of the diode to be measured, and the black lead to the cathode. Read the forward voltage drop on the display in mV.
