Using a screwdriver, remove the four screws. Replacing the Battery The meter is powered by 1.5V x 2 batteries for 61-320 and a single 9V battery for 61-322 and 61-324. To replace the battery, refer to Figure 1A. Figure 1A...
Page 10 Testing Fuses To test the internal fuses of the meter: 1. Turn the rotary selector switch to the Ω position. 2. To test FS1, plug a test lead into VΩHz input terminal and touch the probe to the mA input terminal. The display should indicate between 0.0 to 0.2 Ω.
Page 11 Performance Tests The following performance tests verify the complete operability of the meter and check the accuracy of each meter function against the meter’s specifications. Accuracy specifications are valid for a period of one year after calibration, when measured at an operating temperature of 18ºC to 28ºC and at a maximum of 80% relative humidity.

Page 13 Testing the Capacitance Function The meter measures capacitance by charging the capacitor with a known direct current, measuring the resultant voltage, and calculating the capacitance. If the same capacitance is measured on an impedance bridge, a different reading may result. This variance is likely to be greater at higher frequencies. To verify the accuracy of the capacitance measuring function, do the following: 1.
