[. . . ] Before breaking a circuit for testing, turn off the power to the circuit. When disconnecting from a circuit, disconnect the hot lead first, then the common lead. Disconnect the meter from the circuit before turning off any indicator, including motors, transformers, and solenoids. 2 4 1 3 1.

Turn the power off to the circuit or device that is to be measured and discharge all capacitors before attempting a measurement. Plug the black test lead into the COM port and the red test lead into the Hz V µA port. For correct reading, ensure that the device being tested contains no voltage. 10 Multiplication Guide for Ohms (): 400 = Meter indicates actual resistance 4k = Multiply meter display reading by 1, 000 to acquire actual resistance. 40k = Multiply meter display reading by 1, 000 to acquire actual resistance. 400k = Multiply meter display reading by 1, 000 to acquire actual resistance. 4M = Multiply meter display reading by 1, 000, 000 to acquire actual resistance 400M = Multiply meter display reading by 1, 000, 000 to acquire actual resistance. The meter displays total resistance through all possible paths between the probe-tips. These multiple paths may result in measurements that do not correspond to the ohm value indicated by the resistor color code. 11 Determining Resistor Values: To determine the value of a resistor, use the color bands on the resistor and the table on the following page. Resistor Color Code Table 1st Color Digit Black 0 Brown 1 Red 2 Orange 3 Yellow 4 Green 5 Blue 6 Violet 7 Gray 8 White 9 Gold Silver No Color Example: 2nd Tolerance Digit Multiplier (Percentage) 0 1 1 10 2 100 3 1, 000 4 10, 000 5 100, 000 6 1, 000, 000 7 10, 000, 000 8 100, 000, 000 9 1, 000, 000, 000 +/- 5% +/- 10% +/- 20% 1st color band is blue so the first digit is a 6 2nd color band is red so the second digit is a 2 3rd color band is yellow so multiply 62 x 10, 000 4th color band is gold so the tolerance is ±5% Your Resistor value is 620, 000 Ohms (620k) with a tolerance of ±5%. 12 Blue Red Yellow Gold Diode Testing Function Resolution Accuracy Max. Test Max. Open Current Circuit Voltage 1mV * For 0. 4V to 0. 8V. Overload Protection: 600V rms max Diode Check: To ensure a proper functioning diode, the meter will develop a voltage across the component from a test current. The diode test function allows for measurements of forward voltage drops across diode and transistor junctions. [. . . ] Battery Installation or Replacement: The #61-320 is powered by two 1. 5V batteries. Remove the test leads from the front terminals and turn the meter off. Make sure the battery box leads do not become pinched between the case and battery cover before replacing the battery cover and screw. 18 Fuse Replacement 1. Remove the test leads from the front terminals and turn the meter off. [. . . ]
