THE MULTITESTER
INTRODUCTION
The Multitester or multimeter is sometimes called the VOM (voltmeter,
ohmmeter, milliammeter). It is an instrument that can measure voltage, resistance,
and current. It is generally made of two types: the analog and the digital.
A. Proper care and maintenance of the multitester
1. Read manual of instructions 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 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.
6. Never drop the tester.

B. How to read the meter scale of the multitester


To read the resistance range of the multi-tester, the table below will be used.
The unit of measurement to be used to determine its resistance is ohm.
II. READING A VOLTMETER Directions: Indicate the voltage reading of the voltmeter
below. Write your answer on the space provided.

1._______ VOLT
III. READING AN OHMMETER Direction: Indicate the resistance reading of the
ohmmeter below. Write your reading at the space provided.
