MicroAmps DC (µADC) Test flame rectifier diodes on a heater control. Connect leads between flame sensor probe and control module. Turn heating unit on. When the flame is on, there should be a measurable µADC signal, typically under 10µADC. Compare measurement to manufacturer’s specification to determine if replacement is necessary.
Used for “ohming out” a compressor. A 0.01Ω resolution is useful to test the resistance between the terminal poles because the values are typically very low. For best practice, use a megger (Fieldpiece SMG5) to measure motor winding insultion to ground.
Dual Temperature (T1, T2, T1-T2) Temperature Calibration Plug any Type K thermocouple directly into the meter to measure Thermocouples (T/C) are not calibrated directly. Instead, each T/C jack temperature. Test for proper airflow across the evaporator coil by (T1 and T2) must be calibrated to the particular T/C that is plugged into it. measuring delta T with the dual temperature inputs.
