The Woods AMMW1 Analog Multimeter features a clear analog display and a rotary selector for various measurement functions.

Figure 1: Woods AMMW1 Analog Multimeter. This image displays the front of the multimeter, showing the analog display with various scales (OHMS, AC DC, AC10V BATT), the Woods logo, the model number AMMW1, the rotary function selector switch, and the input jacks for VΩmA and COM. An 'ADJUST Ω' knob is visible on the right side, and 'FUSE & DIODE PROTECTION' is indicated below the display.

The Woods AMMW1 requires 1 AA battery (included) for operation. To install or replace the battery:
- Ensure the multimeter is turned off (selector switch to OFF position, if available, or a non-measurement range).
- Wa ideri iyẹwu batiri ni ẹhin ẹyọ naa.
- Remove the screw(s) securing the cover and carefully open it.
- Insert the AA battery, observing the correct polarity (+ and - markings).

5. Awọn ilana Iṣiṣẹ
Before taking any measurement, ensure the test leads are correctly connected and the rotary selector is set to the appropriate function and range.
5.1 Idiwon DC Voltage (V-)
- Set the rotary selector to the desired DC Voltage (V-) range (e.g., 2.5V, 10V, 50V, 250V, 500V). Choose a range higher than the expected voltage.
- So okun idanwo pupa naa pọ mọ apa rere (+) ti iyipo naa ati okun idanwo dudu naa pọ mọ apa odi (-).
- Ka voltagiye e lati iwọn DCV ti o yẹ lori ifihan afọwọṣe.
5.2 Iwọn AC Voltage (V~)
- Set the rotary selector to the desired AC Voltage (V~) range (e.g., 10V, 50V, 250V, 500V). Choose a range higher than the expected voltage.
- So awọn itọsọna idanwo kọja AC voltage orisun.
- Ka voltagiye e lati iwọn ACV ti o yẹ lori ifihan afọwọṣe.
5.3 Ìwọ̀n Àìdádúró (Ω)
- Set the rotary selector to the desired Resistance (Ω) range (e.g., 10x Ω, 1000x Ω).
- Short the red and black test leads together.
- Ṣatunṣe awọn OHMS ADJUST knob until the needle points exactly to '0' on the OHMS scale. This zeros the meter.
- Connect the test leads across the component whose resistance you wish to measure. Ensure the component is de-energized.
- Read the value from the OHMS scale and multiply it by the range multiplier (e.g., x10, x1000).
5.4 Measuring DC Current (mA, µA)
- IKILO: Má ṣe so multimeter pọ̀ mọ́ vol ní ìfẹ̀sẹ̀tẹ̀sẹ̀ pẹ̀lú voltage source when measuring current. Always connect it in series with the circuit.
- Set the rotary selector to the desired DC Current (mA or µA) range (e.g., 500 µA, 10 mA, 250 mA).
- Break the circuit where you want to measure current.
- Connect the multimeter in series with the circuit, ensuring the red lead is towards the higher potential and the black lead towards the lower potential.
- Read the current value from the appropriate scale.
5.5 Battery Testing (1.5V, 9V)
- Set the rotary selector to the 1.5V BATT or 9V BATT ipo.
- Insert the battery to be tested into the corresponding battery test sockets, observing polarity.
- Read the battery condition from the dedicated "BAD / GOOD" scale on the analog display.
