This document outlines the objectives for understanding and using an analogue multi-tester, including identifying its parts and measuring electronic components safely. It emphasizes the importance of testing electronic components to minimize electrical hazards and enhance device performance. Key components and steps for using the multi-tester are detailed, such as locating the dial, selector switch, and test leads.

4. OBJECTIVES OF THE LESSON
1. IDENTIFY THE PARTS OF AN ANALOGUE MULTI
TESTER;
2. MEASURE SOME ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS; AND
3. PRACTICE SAFETY WHILE MEASURING ELECTRONIC
COMPONENTS.

5. WHY DO WE NEED TO CONDUCT THE TEST OF
ELECTONIC COMPONENTS?
• PROTECTS AGAINST THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• HELPS INCREASE THE SHELF LIFE, PERFORMANCE, ACCURACY
AND EFFICIENCY OF DEVICES
• TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE IN THE WORKPLACE
COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THE APPLIANCE, WHILE ALSO
MINIMIZING THE RISK OF AN ELECTRICAL HAZARD.

8. WHAT IS MULTI- TESTER
multimeter or a multi-tester- also known as a volt/ohm
meter or vom.
-an electronic measuring instrument that combines
several measurement functions in one unit.

9. WHAT ARE THE PARTS OF MULTI-TESTER?

10. INITIAL STEPS IN USING ANALOG MULTI TESTER
‐
1. Locate the dial of your multimeter. This has the arc-
shaped scales visible through the window and a pointer
which will indicate the values read from the scale.

11. 2. Find the selector switch, or knob. This allows you to
change the function between volts, ohms, and amps, and to
change the scale (x1, x10, etc.) Of the meter.

12. 3. Locate the openings in the case where you'll insert the
test leads. Most multimeters have several jacks used for this
purpose.

13. 4. Locate the test leads. There should be two test leads or
probes. Generally, one is black and the other red. These are
used to connect to whatever device you're planning on testing
and measuring.

14. 5. Find the battery and fuse
compartment. This is usually
found on the back but is also
sometimes on the side of some
models. This holds the fuse (and
possibly a spare), and the
battery that supplies power to
the meter for resistance tests.

15. 6. Find the zero adjustment
knob. This is a small knob usually
located near the dial that is
labeled "ohms adjust," "0 adj," or
something similar. This is used only
in the ohms or resistance range,
while the probes are shorted
together (touching each other).
