QM1020 Multifunction Analogue Multimeter User Manual Thank you for purchasing this Multifunction Analogue Multimeter. This multimeter is perfect for those who prefer to use a galvanometer (analogue moving coil meter) to take measurements. It can sometimes be more convenient to view an analogue dial over a digital display when values are fluctuating too.

FUNCTIONS Basic Accuracy 3.000% DC Voltage Range 100mV - 1000V AC Voltage Range 10V - 1000V DC Current Range 50µA - 250mA Resistance 2kΩ - 20MΩ Continuity Transistor Test hFE Amplification Test Diode Test Indicator Calibration Adjustment 10A Input Resistance Jack Dial Range...
DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT 1) Plug the red test lead into the positive socket. 2) Plug the black test lead into the -COM socket. 3) Set the range to the chosen DCV range position. 4) Connect the red test lead to the positive polarity of the circuit tested, and the black lead to the negative.
RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT 1) Plug the test leads into the positive and COM sockets. 2) Place the range selector to the preferred range position. 3) Short the test leads and adjust the resistance dial so the indicator sits at the 0 position. 4) Make sure there is no voltage across the circuit to be tested.
DIODE TEST 1) Set the range selector to the required range position: X1k for 0-150µA, X10 for 0-15mA or X1 for 0-150mA. 2) Connect the diode to the multimeter. i) For forward current tests - connect the ‘N’ terminal of the tester to the positive polarity of the diode, and the ‘P’...

MAINTENANCE BATTERY INSTALLATION To avoid the false readings, replace the battery as soon as you suspect the battery power to be low. 1) Turn the power off and disconnect the test leads from the meter. 2) Open the rear battery cover with a screwdriver. 3) Remove the old battery and insert the new battery into the battery holder, observing the correct polarity.
