INTRODUCTION Your VOM is a compact, rugged, portable volt-ohm-milliarnmeter. It has been designed to make fast, accurate measurements on all types of electrical a. n d electronic equipment and is backed by a company which bas been making quality instruments and test equipment for over half a century.
lNTRODUCTION (Continued) 2. Greater ruggedness and durability as no moving parts are in contact and the elimination of the hairspring prevents snag ging and tangling. The tension spring acts as a built-in shock absorber. 3. Temperature variations can not cause sticky operation of the pointer.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS - See below for the location of the controls and other important parts of the Triplett Model 630 V-0-M. DIAL - The diaJ is the printed panel with graduated scaJes for in dicating the measured quantity. SCALES - Graduated arcs printed on the dial to indicate values of voltage, current, resistance or decibels.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) GENERAL PROCEDURES Check the position of the pointer with nothing connected to the jacks. U necessary, adjust the pointer to rest over the left end of the scales (0) by turning the ZERO ADJUSTER. Choose the range that gives the most pointer deflection without going beyond the end of the scales to get the most accurate measure...

READING THE DIAL The secret of accurate measurement is reading the dial properly. Table 1 shows the scales and numbers to use for each range. TABLE 1. READING THE DIAL RANGE SCALE NUMBERS 0. 3 DC V AC- D C 0 - 300 ( + 1000) 3 DC V AC- D C...

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.) PARAL. L AX CORRECTION One source of measurement error is looking at the dial at an angle. Because there is a space between the pointer and the dial, the apparent reading can be changed by moving your bead from side to side. To pre vent this parallax error, it is necessary to look at the dial from directly in front of the pointer.

necessary to twist the test leads together to reduce the effect of these fields. The overload protection circuit in the meter movement can act as a rectifier in strong RF fields and cause erratic meter indications. Pro vide adequate shielding and filtering of the V-0-M and test leads to reduce this problem.
DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS l. Set the range switch to the desired DC mA range. 2. Plug the test leads into the jacks. 3. Connect the test leads into the circuit to be measured. OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PR. E CAUTIONS. 4. Read the current value on the black AC-DC scale. CAUTION: The circuit must be broken by unsoldering, cutting a wire, unscrewing a terminal or some other means.
DECIBEL MEASUREMENTS Decibels are used in communications and other fields to specify relative power levels. The decibel approximates human hearing ratios and is mathematically derived to reduce multiplication and division to addition and subtraction. All decibel measurements are based on a reference power level. The most common reference power level and the one used in this V-0-M is 1 milliwatt into a 600 ohm load.
Page 20
DECJBEL MEASUREMENTS (Continued) The figrue below shows the correction factor to use on the 12 AC VOLTS and higher ranges. To apply the correction factor, proceed as follows: 1. Make the measurement as specified above. 2. Read the number of decibels indicated on the dial. (Don't add anything yet).
MAINTENANCE BATTERY REPLACEMENT OHMS Batteries should be replaced whenever the ranges can't be adjusted to zero ohms. Check batteries for signs of corrosion or leakage occasionally. To replace batteries: I . Disconnect the test leads from external circuitry and remove them from the V-0-M jacks.

To replace a fuse: I. Disconnect the test leads from external circuitry and remove them from the V-0-M jacks. 2. Remove the four screws at the corners on the back of the case. 3. Remove the case. 4. Remove and discard the blown fuse. 5.
