Model 57010 OWNER'S MANUAL: Controls and Functions

Model 57010 OWNER'S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Your new multitester is designed to measure AC and DC voltage, DC
current, and resistance with accuracy and ease. It can also be used
as a battery tester. One AA cell (1.5V) provides power for resistance
measurement.
The meter circuit incorporates a fuse to protect the delicate meter
movement and other internal parts in case of inadvertent overload or
improper function selection.
26'' (65cm) well insulated test leads with plugs result in firm, safe
connections.

For exact readings, look at the scale from the point where the pointer
and its reflection on the mirror come together; otherwise a reading
error may result due to parallax.
TEST LEADS
Use only the same type test leads as are supplied with your unit.
These test leads are rated for 1,000 volts.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
A battery is required for resistance measurements.
To install, use a phillips screwdriver to remove the screw on the back
cabinet. Pull apart the front and back cabinets.
Insert one AA battery (not supplied) in the battery compartment
observing correct polarity.
Never leave a weak or dead battery in your unit.
Even, leak-proof, types may leak damaging chemicals.
Remove the battery when you don't intend to use your unit for more
than a week.
TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DISCONNECT

MEASURING TERMINALS BEFORE INSTALLING
OR REMOVING BATTERY. OPEN CABINET ONLY
WHEN REPLACING BATTERY; DO NOT TOUCH
ANY INSIDE AREA OTHER THAN THE BATTERY.
OPERATION
CAUTION: THE MAXIMUM INPUT LIMIT FOR VOLTAGE AND CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
BETWEEN'+' AND '' IS 500V AC, 500V DC AND
250 mA DC.

WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION IN THE

USE OF THIS ADVICE. FOLLOW ALL SAFEGUARDS SUGGESTED IN THE OWER'S MANUAL IN
ADDITION TO NORMAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IN DEALING THIS DEVICE IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS. DO NOT
USE THIS DEVICE IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR
WITH ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS AND TESTING
PROCEDURES.
TIPS FOR USING YOUR MULTITESTER
Your Multitester is designed with a precision meter.
When using this tester, pay particular attention to polarities and
check positive and negative points. The red lead connects to positive
points and the black lead to negative.
If you are checking unknown voltages & currents, use highest range
first then next lower range, and so on until readings can be obtained.
For most accurate readings, keep the meter lying flat.
Also, use a range setting that results in a reading in the upper third of
the meter scale.

DC/AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

WARNING: USE EXTREME CARE WHEN MAKING
MEASUREMENTS FOR HIGH VOLTAGE; DO NOT
TOUCH TERMINALS OR PROBE ENDS.
1. Plug the test leads into the correct jacks. ( black into '' and red into '+' )
2. Set range switch to one of the DCV/ACV positions; it is best to
start at the top and work down, If you are not certain about the
voltage level, start with 500V range.
3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test; be sure to
observe correct polarity.
4. Read the voltage on the black DC/AC scales. For AC 10V, read the
red AC 10V scale.
DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
WARNING: DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE TO
MEASURING TERMINALS WHILE RANGE SWITCH
IS IN CURRENT POSITION.
1. Plug the test leads into the correct jacks.
2. If you are not certain about the current level, start with 250 mA
range.
3. Open up the circuit in which you want to measure current and
connect the black lead to the negative side and the red lead to the
positives side of the circuit.
4. Apply power to the circuit under test and read the current on the
black DC scale.
RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS
REPLACEMENT OF FUSE
Install one (AA) battery for resistance measurements
WARNING: DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE TO MESURING TERMINAL WHILE RANGE SWITCH IS IN

OHMS POSITION.
1. Plug the test leads into the '' and '+' jacks.
2. set range switch to the OHM position ( Rx10 or Rx1k ohms) touch
the test probe tips together and adjust the OHMS ADJHST control
to bring the pointer to the '0' on the top (green) OHMS scale.
3. Now touch the probe tips across the circuit or the part under test.
4. Read the resistance on the green OHMS scale.
NOTES when you are unable to adjust the pointer to '0' on the
OHMS scale, the battery must be replaced.
NOTE FOR TESTING SEMICONDUCTOR JUNCTIONS:

When attempting to identify cathode and anode ends or the type of
transistor (PNP) or (NPN), the actual polarity of tester's voltage is
opposite of the lead colors. The red lead is the negative source. The
black lead is positive.
WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DISCONNECT MEASURING TERMINALS BEFORE

REMOVING FUSE. CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED
PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE, REPLACE ONLY
WITH 0.3A, 250V FUSE.
1. Use a phillips screwdriver to remove the screw on the back
cabinet. Pull apart the front and back cabinets.
2. Replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same type / rating (0.3A,
250V)
3. Do not touch any inside area other than the fuse.
TIPS FOR BEST HANDLING

1. Always observe correct polarity: red lead to positive and black lead
to negative terminal.
2. When checking unknown voltages, use the highest range first and
gradually decrease until readings are obtained.
3. For exact readings, look at the scale from the point where the
pointer and its reflection in the mirror come together: otherwise a
reading error due to parallax will result.
CAUTION: ALWAYS DISCONNECT TEST LEADS
