3” (76.2 mm) WEIGHT: 2-1/2 lbs. (1.14 kg) INSTALLATION The following instructions explain the installation and shipping of the TS-113. Included are unpacking and inspection procedures, warranty, shipping, power source requirements and operating position. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Examine the shipping carton for obvious signs of damage. If damage is noted, notify the carrier and supplier and do not attempt further use of the instrument. -
Page 7: Shipping
Pack the Instrument carefully and ship it prepaid and insured to the proper destination. CONTROLS, JACKS AND INDICATORS All operating and adjustment controls, jacks and indicator for the TS-113 are described in the following pages. Become familiar with each item prior to operating the Instrument. -
Page 8: Front Panel Description
FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION The Instrument’s highly legible markings are designed for easy, accurate readings. The 4” red knife-edge pointer and scale mirror, permit improved resolution of readings and elimination of parallax errors. The dial itself is color coded to match the range and function switch for ease of interpretation. -
Page 9: Replaceable Components
The panel is marked and color coded to permit easy and accurate selection of any of its positions. There is a “Transit” position for vibration protection during travel, and a blank position between ohms and mA to protect against accidentally switching between ranges. The left knob rotates between 3 positions -DC, DC and AC. -
Page 10: Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This section of the manual contains information required to use and operate the TS-113 in a safe and proper manner. WARNING The TS-113 has been designed specifically for use by trained and qualified personnel working on railway signaling and communications systems. It is not intended to make measurements in heavy-duty railway equipment such as diesel-electric locomotives, railway cranes or the like. - Page 11 • This General Purpose VOM is NOT to be used to make electrical measurements on blasting circuits or blasting caps. NOTE: The TS-113 is not waterproof and must be sheltered from rain or snow.

OPERATION DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS Figure 3. Measuring DC Current Note: The range switch position for DC serves the 1.5A, 6 A and 30 A ranges, and the correct jack must be selected. The 6A and 30A connections are unfused. Use caution when testing these high currents. Do not leave the unit measuring 30 Amps unattended, or for a long period of time as contact points can overheat rapidly. -
Page 13: Ac Current Measurements
AC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS Figure 4. Measuring AC Current Note: The 6A and 30A connections are unfused. Use caution when testing these high currents. Do not leave the unit measuring 30 Amps unattended, or for a long period of time as contact points can overheat rapidly. a. -
Page 14: Peak Readings Of Any Function
WARNING Be extremely careful when working with high voltage circuits. Do not touch the Instrument or test leads while power is on in the circuit being measured. Do not exceed 600 volts. PEAK READINGS OF ANY FUNCTION To determine the peak value of a visibly fluctuating reading, slowly rotate the pointer stop knob clockwise against the pointer until pointer motion can no longer be detected. -
Page 15: Dc Or Ac Voltage Measurements
WARNING Be extremely careful when working with high voltage circuits. Do not touch the Instrument or test leads while power is on in the circuit being measured. Do not exceed 600 volts. DC OR AC VOLTAGE MEASURMENTS a. Set the range selector switch between 0.25DC (or 3 VAC) and 300/600 range as shown in Fig. -
Page 16: Resistance Measurements
RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS WARNING Voltage applied to resistance range will cause reading errors if low and damage the Instrument if high. When making in-circuit measurements, make certain that the circuit is completely de-energized before making connections to it. When making in-circuit measurements, circuit paths in parallel with the resistance being measured may cause reading errors. -
Page 17: Percent "On" Time Measurements
a. Test first for the presence of an AC or DC voltage. (Refer to Warning). If no voltage is present, proceed with the set up below. b. Set the range selector to “Rx1” for resistance less than 100Ω, “Rx100” for resistance less than 10,000, or “Rx1K”... -
Page 18: Operator Servicing
“ON” time can be read directly from the scale. OPERATOR SERVICING For safety of the operator, servicing of the TS-113, other than replacement of batteries or fuses, should be referred to one of the Simpson Authorized Service Centers. -
