    A multi-meter, also known as a multitester or VOM, is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties such as voltage, resistance, and current. It functions as a voltmeter, ohmmeter, and milliammeter. Proper calibration of a multi-meter involves shorting the test probes together to adjust the pointer to the zero position on the scale.

    MULTI-METER

    also known as MULTITESTER


    or VOM (Volt-Ohm-milli-
    ammeter)
    WHAT IS A MULTI-
    METER? It is a measuring
    instrument that
    can measure
    multiple electrical
    properties- such
    as voltage,
    resistance, and
    current
    MULTI-METER CAN BE USED AS:
    VOLTMETER OHMMETER MILLIAMMETER

    • Used to measure • An instrument for • An instrument


    voltages of either measuring used to measure
    direct or resistance in ohms, smaller currents,
    alternating electric Ω in milliampere
    current which is (mA)
    expressed in Volt,
    (V)

    Ohmmeter It is non-linear which means the value of one
    line or calibration may not be true to other
    Scale lines
    Pointer
    • It is the needle-shape rod
    that moves over the scale
    of the meter. The value the
    pointer hover indicates the
    value being measured by
    the multi-meter.
    Zero Position Adjuster
     Also known as infinity
    knob
     A part that allows us to
    adjust the pointer to the
    zero position of the scale.
    Range Selector
    Knob
    • This part allows us to adjust
    the settings of the multi-
    meter. Using this we can
    change what the multimeter
    is measuring (voltage, current
    or resistance), as well as the
    range of the measurement.
    • This can be auto-ranging or
    manual-ranging
    Zero Ohm Adjustment
    Knob
    • This is used to calibrate
    the multi-meter when
    you want to measure
    the resistance of a
    component or circuit.
    Test Probes

    • These are used to connect the


    multimeter to a device under
    test. Red test probes connect
    to the positive terminal, and
    black test probes connect to
    the negative terminal
    Consider the table below in interpreting
    the Ohmmeter Scale
    F E D C
    B
    A

    Each group determines the value of each line


    assigned to them.
    A (0-2) = 0.2 E (50-100)=5 The pointer deflects 2 lines
    B (2-10)= 0.5 F (100-200)=20 after 2
    C (10-20)= 1
    D (20-50) =2
    How to measure
    resistance?

    Identify the Connect the test


    Calibrate the multi- appropriate range leads on the
    meter multiplier to be circuit/device to be
    used tested

    *Note: circuit or device


    under test must not be
    connected to any supply
    voltage
    Calibrating the multimeter
    Connect the
    test probes to
    the resistor
    F E D C
    B
    A

    Each group determines the value of each line


    assigned to them. *The pointer deflected at group D,
    A (0-2) = 0.2 E (50-100)=5 each line between 20-50 is (2x10) 20.
    B (2-10)= 0.5 F (100-200)=20 The pointer is at one line after
    C (10-20)= 1 (30x10) 300 the resistance reading is
    D (20-50) =2 320 ohms at Range x10,
    Question #1:
    What parts of the multimeter need to be shorted or
    connected to each other when being calibrated?
    Question #2:
    What are the 3 basic electrical properties that a
    multi-meter can measure?
    Question #3:
    Give at least one range to use when measuring
    resistance.
