SECTION 1. ELECTRICAL TEST EQUIPMENT

The

equipment

required

service

May

tag

products

depends

largely

upon

the

condition

encountered.

Locating

malfunction

will

often

require

the

use

electrical

testing

equipment

such as:

•

Appliance

Test

Meter

•

Clamp-on

Ammeter

•

Motor

Test

Cord

APPLIANCE TEST METER

Probably

the

easiest

means

testing

electrical

components

~'continuity

testing"

with an

Appliance

Test

Meter.

Continuity

is a

complete

continuous

path

from

one

point

in an

electrical

circuit

another

point.

The

obvious

advantages

being

able

check electrical

components

and

cir-

cuits

without

power

applied

is one

the

features

the

ohmmeter.

Multiple

ranges

allow

accurate

determination

resistances

both

single

components

and

entire

circuit

paths. Resistance is

measured

"ohms".

Appliance

Test

Meter

is a

multi-

purpose

tester

combining

an AC-DC

voltage

tester

with

multi-range

ohmmeter.

APPLIANCE

TEST

METER

SET METER FOR USE

FOLLOWS:

Calibrate

meter

touching

test

probes

together

and

turning

adjusting

dial

until

meter

reads

"0"

the

ohm

scale. Recheck

cali-

bration

whenever

adjusting

dial

for

ohms

settings

changed. (Replace

battery

adjustment

will

not

bring

meter

reading

"0".)

Select

the

scale

most

easily

read

and place test

probes

on respective

terminals.

When checking aswitch,

the

reading

would

normally

either

open

closed. A

reading

70 on

the

R x 10 scale

would

for

example

be 700

ohms

resistance.
