Continuity Test - Defort DMM-1000N Mode D'emploi

2. Set the switch on the hFE setting.
3. Find out whether this transistor is a NPN or PNP
transistor and connect the Emitter- (e), Basic (b)
and collector- (c) cable to the appropriate socket in
the switch gear panel on the front side.
4. The display shows the (approximate) hFE value for
a basic current of 10 ηA, V CE 2.8 V.
10.7 MEASURING ALTERNATING CURRENT
(AAC)
1. Connect the BLACK lead to the COM connector
socket. Connect the RED lead to the «VΩmA» con-
nector socket. For measurements between 200 mA
and 20 A, remove RED lead to «20 A» connector
socket.
2. Set the FUNCTION switch on the desired «A~» set-
ting and connect the leads in series to the power
circuit to be measured. The polarity of the measur-
ing tips is not relevant.
3. Read off the value in (milli-) Ampere.

Corrected centre point (corresponds to the effective
value in a sinusoidal form.)
HINT:
1. In case the current range is previously unknown,
you must set the FUNCTION switch in the highest
measurement range and then reduce the measure-
ment range gradually if required.
2. If the fi gure «I» now appears on the display, the
measurand lies outside the range set. The FUNC-
TION switch must be switched to a higher meas-
urement range.
3. The 20 A range is not protected with a fuse. Do not,
therefore, measure for longer than 10 seconds.

10.8 CONTINUITY TEST

1. Connect the BLACK lead to the «COM» connector
socket and the RED lead to the «VΩmA» connector
socket. (Hint: The polarity of the red lead is then
«+».)
2. Set the FUNCTION switch on the «
connectthe measuring tips to the power circuit to be
measured.
3. If the resistance in the power circuit is lower than
50 Ω, the buzzer sounds.
11. SERVICING
CAUTION
• Always remove the battery before servicing and
cleaning of the multimeter. Never use water or
other fl uids to clean the device.
• Keep the instrument leads and the multimeter
clean. Some cleaning media and solvents (pet-

12. PROBLEMS
In case the multimeter does not operate properly, the
cause could be one of these:
1. The multimeter does not show anything.
• The battery is fl at.
- Change the battery.
• The current or the voltage measured was too high
- Contact the Service address in case of problems.
ACCURACY
2. The multimeter does not show any measured
values.
• The fuse has burnt.
- Replace the fuse.
± 2,5%
• One or more leads are defective.
- Replace the instrument leads.
• The current or the voltage measured was too high
- Contact the Service address in case ofproblems.
REPLACING THE FUSE
1. Set the switch on the OFF setting.
2. Remove the rear panel of the multimeter by loosen-

leads removed before opening the casing of the mul-
timeter.
3. Remove the defective fuse and replace it with a fuse
