Page 2: Safety Rules & Warnings
11. Warranty 1: INTRODUCTION The Triplett Model 9015-A is a 3 1/2 digit, high reliability, handheld Digital Mul- timeter with a 1.15" high Liquid Crystal Display. At its core is an LSI (Large Scale Integration) integrated circuit which uses dual slope A/D conversion for stability and accuracy. - Page 3 2.3 Do not use this meter with its case open, or with parts removed. Doing so may damage the meter and/or injure the user. 2.4 When using this meter in schools and workshops, responsible teachers or skilled personnel must control the usage of this meter. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.
- Page 4 2.14 Do not exceed the maximum voltage or current limitations of the meter (see product specifications). Doing so may damage the meter and/or injure the user. 2.15 Do not apply voltage or current to the input of the meter when it is set to any of the Ohms Ω...
- Page 5 2.26 Do not use the meter if either the meter or the test leads are wet, either from exposure to the weather, or after cleaning the case of the meter. Doing so may cause injury to the user. 2.27 Do not attempt immediate use of the meter when bringing it from a cold environment to a warm environment.
- Page 6 2.35 When you use the meter to check a high-voltage circuit, do not try to connect both test leads at once. Instead, clip one probe to the neutral or ground lead of the circuit (usually a bare, green, or white wire in AC wiring circuits) using the insulated slip-on Alligator Clips.
- Page 7 2.44 Avoid usage near strong RF fields (radio or television transmitters, walkie talkies, cellular phones, etc.). The meter may display readings that are in error, causing the user to misinterpret the hazards present. For example, the meter may indicate a low voltage when high voltages are actually present.

Page 14: Measurement Procedures
Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user. 7.2 Auto Power Off: The 9015-A has Auto Power Off. This power saving feature automatically turns the meter off 15 to 20 minutes after turning it on..thereby extending battery life. - Page 15 7.3.2 Set the RANGE switch to a V position. If the magnitude of the voltage is unknown, set the RANGE switch to the highest V position. If the input voltage is higher than the previously stated limits, do not attempt to measure! 7.3.3 Connect the test probes to circuit being measured.
- Page 16 7.4.3 Connect the test probes to circuit being measured. The LCD will display the AC voltage. 7.4.4 If the display indicates overrange, i.e. “1- - -”, disconnect the test probes from the circuit and rotate the RANGE switch to the next higher position. Reconnect the test probes to the circuit and observe the reading on the LCD display.
- Page 17 7.5.4 If the display indicates overrange, i.e. “1- - -”, disconnect the test probes from the circuit and reconnect the red test lead to the 10A jack. Set the RANGE switch to the 10A position, and reconnect the test leads to the circuit.
- Page 18 7.6.4 If the display indicates overrange, i.e. “1- - -”, disconnect the test probes from the circuit and reconnect the red test lead to the 10A jack. Set the RANGE switch to the 10 A position, and reconnect the test leads to the circuit.
- Page 19 Notes: a) The 2M, 20M, and 200M ranges require several seconds to stabilize. b) The 200M range reads 10 LSD high. To obtain an accurate reading, subtract 10 LSD from the indicated value on the LCD. c) To obtain the most accurate reading on the 200 Ω range, short the test leads together and note the “residual resistance”...
- Page 20 7.9.2 Set the RANGE switch to the Diode Test / Continuity Beeper “ ” range. 7.9.3 Connect the test probes to the device or circuit to be tested. To test a simple diode, connect the red test probe to the Anode of the diode and the black test lead to the Cathode (“banded”...
- Page 21 7.11 Measuring Temperature: WARNING!!! Do not attempt to measure the temperature of any surface that is electrically “live”. Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury to the user. 7.11.1 Remove the test leads from the input jacks of the meter. 7.11.2 Set the RANGE switch to the TEMP °...
- Page 22 Notes: a) On the 2nF range, the meter will indicate residual capacitance without a capacitor inserted into the Cx socket. This is usually less than 0.020nF. b) If the capacitor to be measured is too large to insert into the Cx socket, or it is installed in a piece of equipment, the provided Capacitance Extension Lead can be used to make a measurement.

Page 23: Using The Holster
8: USING THE HOLSTER A protective holster is provided with the Model 9015-A. This vinyl holster pro- vides a measure of protection from the everyday rigors that products of this type are often subjected to. Molded into the holster are two holders for the test probes. When not in use, the test leads can be coiled around the meter and the probes snapped into these holders. -
Page 24: Maintenance
9: MAINTENANCE Your Triplett Model 9015-A DMM is a precision measuring instrument and, when used as described in this manual, should not require maintenance. However, periodic calibration of the meter will insure that it is accurate and per- forming in accordance with its design specifications. A one year calibration inter- val is suggested. - Page 25 9.1.4 Remove the 9 volt battery and replace with a fresh battery (PN 37-48). 9.1.5 Carefully install the fresh battery back into the meter, making sure that the battery wires will not be pinched when the case of the meter is reassembled.
