Let Us Discover
One of the basic procedures in troubleshooting a device is the component
testing. The cause of malfunction of a device is due to a defective component or part
in the circuit. To isolate the problem, knowledge in basic troubleshooting technique is
needed. Multi-tester (analog or digital) is the basic testing and measuring instrument
used in troubleshooting.

• Meter Scale – shows the calibration of Ohms, Volts and Ampere.
• Name Plate - shows the brand name and model of the multi-tester.
• Needle Corrector - used to adjust the needle pointer to rest to zero when not in
used.
• Positive test Prod - the red test pointer.
• Negative test Prod - the black test pointer.
• Alternating Current (AC) Voltage Selection Range - ranges used or setting when
measuring the AC Voltage.
• Direct Current (DC) Voltage Selection Range - ranges used or setting when
measuring the DC voltage.
• 0Ω Adjust - used to set to zero the needle pointer by shorting the two test prods
before measuring the resistance.
• Needle Pointer - points to the number in the meter scale that indicates the reading.
• Ohmmeter Range -ranges used or setting when measuring the resistance.
• DC milli-Ammeter Range -selection ranges when measuring small amount of direct
current.
