3. Ọja Ipariview

The DT321B Digital Multimeter features a clear LCD display and a rotary switch for selecting various measurement functions. Input jacks are provided for connecting test leads.

olusin 3.1: Iwaju view of the DT321B Digital Multimeter with key components labeled. The display shows numerical readings, the hold button freezes the current reading, and the rotary switch selects measurement functions. The '10A' jack is for high current measurements, 'COM' is the common ground, and 'VΩmA' is for voltage, resistance, and low current measurements.

The multimeter includes a blue backlight for improved visibility in low-light conditions and a data hold function to freeze the displayed reading.

5.3 Measuring DC Current (A–)

IKIRA: To avoid damage to the multimeter or the circuit, never connect the test leads in parallel across a voltage source when measuring current. Always connect in series.

1. For currents up to 200mA, insert the red test lead into the 'VΩmA' jack. For currents up to 10A, insert the red test lead into the '10A MAX' jack. The black test lead always goes into the 'COM' jack.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired DC Current (A–) range (e.g., 200u, 2m, 20m, 200m, 10A).
3. Ṣí àyíká tí a fẹ́ wọn ìsanwó náà kí o sì so multimeter náà pọ̀ mọ́ àyíká náà.
4. Ka awọn ti isiyi iye lori LCD àpapọ.

5.4 Measuring Resistance (Ω)

IKIRA: Ensure the circuit under test is completely de-energized before measuring resistance.

1. Insert the red test lead into the 'VΩmA' jack and the black test lead into the 'COM' jack.
2. Set the rotary switch to the desired Resistance (Ω) range (e.g., 200, 2k, 20k, 200k, 2M).
3. So àwọn ìwádìí ìdánwò pọ̀ mọ́ ara ohun èlò tí a fẹ́ wọ̀n.

2. Set the rotary switch to the continuity symbol (♫).
3. Connect the test probes across the circuit or component. If continuity exists (resistance below a certain threshold), the buzzer will sound.

5.7 Battery Testing (1.5V / 9V)

1. Insert the red test lead into the 'VΩmA' jack and the black test lead into the 'COM' jack.
2. Set the rotary switch to the '1.5V BATT' or '9V BATT' position.
3. Connect the red probe to the positive terminal and the black probe to the negative terminal of the battery.

1. Set the rotary switch to the 'hFE' position.
2. Identify the NPN or PNP type of the transistor.
3. Insert the transistor leads (Emitter, Base, Collector) into the corresponding sockets in the 'hFE' test socket on the multimeter.
4. Ka iye hFE lori iboju LCD.
