2. MULTITESTER  -It is the best instrument that can measure voltage, resistance and current.

It is
generally made of two types: the analog and the digital

3. DIGITAL MULTITESTER A piece of test equipme nt used for measuring v oltage, current, resistan ce,
and possibly other electrical quantities an d displaying the value i n number form.

4. ANALOG MULTITESTER although older than the commonly preferred digital multimeter, do come with
several unique advantages. Although both digital and analog multimeters measure varying units, such as
voltage, current, and resistance, they display their readings in distinctly different ways.

5. PARTS OF MULTITESTER 1. POINTER- The needle-shape rod that moves over the scale of a meter. - It is
mechanically connected to the moving coil. It indicates the measured values on the multimeter. 2
RANGE SELECTOR KNOB-(selector switch) makes it possible to select different function and range of the
meter. 3. ADJUSTMENT SCREW- makes it possible to adjust the pointer to the zero position of the scale.

6. 4. SCALE- is a series of marking used for reading the value of quantity. Scale can have different types
of scale, for voltage and current readings the scales have mostly linear which mean equal division for
resistance . 5. TEST PROBE- Positive (red) negative (black) is use to connect the circuit to the electrical
components being tested. 6. ZERO-OHM ADJUSTMENT KNOB- is used to zero-in the pointer before
measuring resistance.

7. PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE MULTITESTER 1. Read manual of instruction on how to
operate the multitester. 2. In reading the amount of voltage, always start with the highest range to
avoid reading voltage higher than the tester is set to the tester setting. 3. Be sure that the tester is set to
the correct range setting: resistance range when measuring the ohm, voltage range when measuring
voltage and ammeter range when measuring the value of electric current. 4. Always check the condition
of its battery. Worn out batteries will damage the internal setting of the tester. 5. When the tester is not
in used or will be stored, set the selector switch to 1000V or to OFF position. 5. Never drop the tester.
