Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the four screws. Replacing the Battery The meter is powered 1.5V x 2 batteries for 61-320 and a single 9V battery for 61-322 / 61-324. To replace the battery, refer to Figure 1. Figure 1...
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.
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 18°C to 28°C and a maximum of 80% relative humidity.
Page 12 Testing the Voltage Function To verify accuracy in the AC and DC voltage ranges, do the following: 1. Turn the rotary switch to “V ” position. 2. Connect the calibrator to the VΩ and COM inputs on the meter. 3.
Page 13 Testing the Resistance Function To verify the accuracy of the resistance function, do the following: 1. Connect the calibrator to VΩHz and COM on the meter. 2. Turn the rotary switch to Ω. 3. Apply the inputs for step 1 to 6 in Table 3. 4.
