Composition
of a Digital PAGE LEVEL ADS

Multimeter
A digital Multimeter can be
divided into two parts on
the basis of its external
features:
1. Screen Area: This
section of a digital
Multimeter consists of
a LCD screen on which
digits are displayed
which can be easily
read users.
2. Mechanical Area: This
section of the
Multimeter consists of
– rotary switch, sliding
switch, pin plug and
various type of
checking range.

Sections in
Digital
Multimeter
1. Rotary selector switch
– Various checking
ranges are selected
through this switch
which is indicated by
arrows on the switch.
2. Sliding switch – There
are two sliding
switches in a digital
Multimeter – (1) PWR
and (2) PK-HD PWR
switch, used for
switching the power
supply ON or OFF. PK-
HD switch is used for
 holding the variable
ratings displayed on
the screen.
3. Pin Plug – There are 4
pin plugs in a digital
Multimeter for
connecting the RED
and Black Probe. These
pins are:- COM Plug:
This is common plug.
Black probe is
connected with this
plug while using the
meter.
– VW Plug: This plug is
used for measuring
voltage and resistance.
RED probe is
connected with this
plug.
– mA Plug: This plug is
used for measuring
current. Up to 400 mille
ampere current can be
measured by this plug.
– 20A Plug: This plug is
used for measuring
current up to 20
ampere. RED Probe is
connected with this
plug for measuring
current.
4. Checking Range:
Various ranges are built
in a digital Multimeter
for getting result of
various electronic
functions.
– DC Volt Range: DC
Volt is measured by
this range of the meter.
There are 5 voltage
positions for this
purpose – 400 mv, 4v,
40v, 400v and 1000v.
– DC Current Range –
DC Current is
measured by this range
for which there are
three current positions
in this area for this
purpose – 400 mA, 40
mA and 20 mA.
– AC Volt Range – AC
Volt is measured from
this range of the meter.
There are 5 voltage
positions in this area
for this purpose – 400
mV, 4V, 40V, 400V and
750V.
– AC Current Range –
AC Current is
measured from the
range of the meter.
There are 3 current
positions – 400 mA, 40
mA and 20 mA.
– Ohm Range –
Resistance is
 measured from this
area for which there are
7 resistance positions
– 400W, 4K, 40K, 400K,
4M, 40M and 400M.
– Farad Range –
Capacitor is rated from
this area of the multi
meter. 5 sub ranges are
provided in this area for
this purpose – 4 nf, 40
nf, 400 nf, 4 mf and 40
mf.
– Frequency Range –
Frequency is rated
from this area of the
meter. E.g. KHz.
– Logic Range – The
result of digital
operation is checked
from this range like
high, low, pulse.
– Diode Range – Diode
or resistance is
checked from this area
to know if it is working
or not.

How to Use a
Digital
Multimeter
I will explain how to use a
digital multimeter one by
one to avoid any confusion
so that you can learn it
easily.

Measuring AC
Volt using a
Digital
Multimeter
1. Connect the BLACK
probe with the
COMMON and RED
probe with the V plug.
2. Select the voltage
position from ACV
range by rotary selector
switch. Select high
voltage position in case
you are not aware of
voltage.
3. Switch OFF the power
supply of the
equipment or circuit.
4. Connect the probes
with the checking
points.
5. Switch on the power of
the power supply of the
equipment or the
circuit.
6. Read the value on the
meter screen.
Measuring DC
Volt using a
Digital
Multimeter
1. Fit the BLACK probe in
COMMON and RED
probe in VW plug.
2. Select the voltage
position by rotary
selector switch. Select
high voltage position in
case you do not know
voltage.
3. Switch ON the power
supply of the
equipment or circuit
the voltage of which is
to be measured.
4. Connect the meter
probes with the
checking points.
5. Switch ON the power
supply of the circuit
and read the voltage.

Measuring DC
Current using
Digital Multi
Meter
 1. Fit the BLACK probe in
COMMON and RED
probe in MA plug.
2. Select the current
position in DCA range
by rotary selector
switch.
3. Switch OFF the power
supply of the circuit.
4. Connect the probe of
the meter with the
circuit in series
properly.
5. Switch ON the power
supply of the circuit
and read the ampere
on the display.

Precaution: Make sure that

the probe of the meter
should not touch the circuit
for more than 30 seconds
while measuring current in
the range of 20A.

Measuring AC
Current using
Digital Multi
Meter
1. Fit the BLACK probe in
COMMON plug and the
RED probe in 20A plug.
 2. Select the current
position in ACA range
by rotary selector
switch.
3. Switch ON the power
supply of the
equipment or circuit.
4. Connect the meter
probe with the circuit in
series properly and
take the reading.

Precaution: Make sure that

the probe of the meter
should not touch the circuit
for more than 30 seconds
while measuring current in
the range of 20A.

Checking
Continuity
using a Digital
Multimeter
1. Fit the BLACK probe in
the COMMON plug and
RED probe in VW plug.
2. Select 400W position
by rotary selector
switch. A buzzer is also
provided in 400W
range.
3. Touch the component
or terminal of the wire
 with probe.
4. Beep sound is known
as continuity.

Checking
Frequency
using a Digital
Multimeter
1. Fit the BLACK probe in
COMMON plug and
RED probe in VW plug.
2. Select KHz range by
rotary selector switch.
A buzzer is also
provided here.
3. Touch the point with
the probe at the point
where frequency is to
be checked.
4. Read the value on the
display screen.

Checking
Logic using a
Digital
Multimeter
1. Fit the BLACK probe in
COMMON plug and the
RED probe in VW plug.
 2. Select logic range by
rotary selector switch.
3. Place the BLACK probe
on the ground terminal
of the circuit and RED
probe at the testing
point.
4. High for logic 1, low for
logic 0 and for pulse
reading will be
displayed on the
screen.

Troubleshootin
g the Digital
Multimeter if it
is not Working
If there is no display or
improper display of
readings in the meter, in
that case the meter should
be checked as follows:

1. Check the battery.

Change if required.
2. Check the probes.
3. Check the fuse.
Change if required.

I read your article and quite liked it.
Appreciate your comprehensive
explanation, I was wondering have you
done any review on the analog
multimeter?
