Basic Maintenance
Warning
To avoid shock, remove the test leads and any input signals before opening the case or replacing the
battery.
Opening the Meter Case
Caution
To avoid unintentional shock circuit, always place the uncovered Meter assembly on a protective
surface. When the case of the Meter is open, circuit connections are exposed.
To open the Meter case, and do the following:
1. Disconnect test leads from any live source, push the button to OFF, and remove the test leads from
the front terminals.
2. Remove the battery door by using a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the battery door screws turn
counter-clockwise.
3. The case bottom is secured to the case top by two screws. Using a Phillips-had screwdriver, remove
the two screws.
Replacing the Battery
The Meter powered by 9V battery for 61-096
To replace the battery refer to Figure.

Performance Tests
The following performance tests verify the complete operability of the Meter and check the accuracy of
each Meter function against the Meter’s specifications.
Accuracy specifications are valid for a period of one year after calibration, when measured at an
operating temperature of 18°C to 28°C and a maximum of 80% relative humidity.
To perform the following tests, it is not necessary to open the case, no Adjustments are necessary,
merely make the required connections, apply the designated inputs, determine if the reading on the
Meter display falls within the acceptable range indicated.
If the Meter fails any of these tests, it needs calibration adjustment or repair.
Testing the voltage Function
To verify accuracy in the AC and DC voltage ranges, do the following:
1. Push the button to start your meter.
2. Connect the Calibrator to the VΩ and COM inputs on the Meter.
3. Set the Calibrator for the voltage and frequency from step 1 to 8 in Table 1.
4. Compare the reading on the Meter display with the display reading shown in Table 1.
5. If the display reading falls outside of the range shown in Table 1, the Meter does not meet
specification.
