TESTING, CALIBRATION, AND TROUBLESHOOTING TESTING OF LCD With no test leads connected to the meter, move the selector switch around the dial. You should obtain the following readings. A (–) sign may also be present or blinking. 1) ACV Range: HV 0 0 0 3) Ohms, Diode and h Ranges: B indicates blank.
DC VOLTS TEST 1) If you have a variable power supply, set the supply to about the midpoint of each of the DCV ranges and compare the kit meter reading to a meter known accuracy. 10A DC 2) If you do not have a variable power supply, make the following two VΩmA tests: 1kΩ...
RESISTANCE / DIODE TEST 2) Read the h of the transistor. The h 1) Measure a resistor of about half of the full scale transistors varies over a wide range, but you will value of each resistance range. Compare the kit probably get a reading between 100 and 300.
THEORY OF OPERATION A block diagram of the M-1008K is shown in Figure 1. switches to produce an output DC voltage with a Operation centers around a custom LSI chip. This magnitude between 0 and 199mV. If the input signal...

The integrate period begins at the end of the to be opposite that of the unknown input voltage, autozero period. As the period begins, the AZ switch thus causing the INTEG capacitor to discharge at a opens and the INTEG switch closes. This applies the fixed rate (slope).

DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT 200mV Figure 4 shows a simplified diagram of the DC voltage Volts 900kΩ measurement function. The input voltage divider resistors Low Pass Filter add up to 1 megaohm. Each step down divides the voltage 90kΩ by a factor of ten. The divider output must be within the 7106 range –0.199 to +0.199 volts or the overload indicator will 9kΩ...
CONTINUITY MEASUREMENT Figure 8 shows a diagram of the continuity measurement function. The circuit uses two op- amps and a piezoelectric buzzer. When the leads are connected across a circuit and the resistance less than 20Ω the circuit oscillates and the buzzer sounds. Figure 8 MEASUREMENT Figure 9 shows a simplified diagram of the h...
