WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

• Do not exceed the maximum overload limits

per function (see specifications) nor the limits

marked on the instrument itself.

• Inspect instrument, test leads and accessories

before every use. Do not use any damaged part.

• Never ground yourself when taking

measurements.

• Do not touch exposed circuit elements or

probe tips.

• Never replace a fuse with one of a different

rating. Do not operate instrument in an

explosive atmosphere.

OVERLOAD INDICATION

Range overload is indicated by “1” in

the display with all other digits blanked.

Select the next higher range until a value is

displayed. If overload condition still exists in the

highest range, the measured value is beyond the

range of the meter. Overload indication is normal

in the OHMS range when the leads are not

connected to anything or when the measured

value is higher than the selected resistance range.

PREPARATION FOR USE - UNPACKING

Your package should include:

1 CR50A

1 Test lead set (one black, one red)

1 Pair of alligator clips

1 9V battery (installed)

1 Spare 0.1A/250V fuse (inside the case)

1 Holster

1 Warranty Card

1 User manual

If any item is damaged or missing, return to the

place of purchase for an exchange.

MEASURING PROCEDURES

General: When connecting or disconnecting test leads

to/from a circuit, always first turn off power to device

or circuit being tested and discharge all capacitors.

4

Resistance Measurement

1. Turn off power to the resistance to be

measured and discharge any capacitors.

Any voltage present during a resistance

measurement will cause inaccurate readings.

Connect red test lead to +Rx Input (red) and

black test lead to -Rx Input.

2. Set Function/Range Switch to the desired

Ω position.

3. Connect test leads to resistance or circuit to

be measured.

4. Read resistance value on Digital Display.

Open circuits will be displayed as an

overload condition.

Note: On the 20Ω range, an adjustment

potentiometer (ZERO ADJ.) allows you to zero

out the test lead resistance. Short the test leads

and adjust the knob until the display reads zero.

Diode and Transistor Test

1. Connect the red test lead to the +Rx Input

(red) and the black test lead to the –Rx Input.

2. Set the Function/range switch to

d

position.

3. Apply probe tip of red lead to the anode and

black lead to the cathode of the diode. The

meter’s display indicates the forward voltage

drop (approximately 0.7V for silicon diode or

0.4V for germanium diode). Meter will display

overload condition for an open diode.

4. Reverse test lead connections to the diode to

perform a reverse bias test. Overload indicates

a good diode.

Note: Overload condition for both reverse and

forward bias tests indicate an open diode. A

low voltage reading for both bias tests indicates

a shorted diode. If the diode is shunted by a

resistor of 1000 ohms or less, it must be removed

from the circuit before taking the measurement.

Bipolar transistor junctions may be tested in the

same manner described above.

Continuity Test

The Continuity test checks electrical continuity

between two contact points.

1. Set the Function/Range switch to

d



.

2. Plug the black test lead into the –Rx jack

(black) and connect the test lead tip to one of

the contact points

3. Plug the red test lead into the +Rx jack (red)

and connect its test lead point to the other

contact point. (See Figure 1 for connections)

4. The internal beeper emits a tone when

resistance is less than approx. 40Ω

Capacitance Measurement

Discharge all voltage from the capacitor (via a

100kΩ resistor) before measuring its value

1. Connect the red test lead to the Cx+ input

and the black test lead to the Cx– input.

2. Set the function/range switch to the

capacitance range that gives the best

resolution.

3. Apply probe tips to the capacitor leads.

When measuring electrolytic capacitors,

observe correct polarity.

4. Read the capacitance value on the display

(you may have to wait a few seconds until

the capacitor is fully charged). If “OL”

appears in the highest range, the capacitor

is too large to be measured.

Note: For small value measurements utilize

7

CAP Zero Adjust to eliminate test lead

capacitance (±20pF).

Note: Small value capacitors can also be

measured by inserting their leads directly into

the slots in the meter.

SAFETY TEST LEADS

The test leads included with your meter have

shrouded banana plugs to eliminate the

possibility of shock if the plugs accidentally pull

out of the meter while making a measurement.

Always inspect the test leads for damage before

making any measurements.

TROUBLESHOOTING/MAINTENANCE

If there appears to be a malfunction during

the operation of the meter, the following steps

should be performed in order to isolate the

cause of the problem:

1. Check the battery.

2. Review the operating instructions for

possible mistakes in operating procedure.

3. Inspect and test the Test Probes for a

broken or intermittent connection.

4. Inspect and test the fuse. See Fuse

Replacement.

Except for the replacement of the battery or fuse,

repair of the multimeter should be performed

only by a Factory Authorized Service Center or by

other qualified instrument service personnel.

The front panel and case can be cleaned with

a mild solution of detergent and water. Apply

sparingly with a soft cloth and allow to dry

completely before using. Do not use aromatic

hydrocarbons or chlorinated solvents for cleaning.

Battery/Fuse Replacement

 WARNING

To prevent electrical shock hazard, turn off

the multimeter and any device or circuit under

test and disconnect the test leads before

removing the rear cover.

13

1. Remove the screws and lift off the rear case.

2. Fuse Replacement: Remove the blown fuse

(5 x 20mm) from the fuse holder. Replace

with a 0.1A/250V quick acting glass fuse

(one spare fuse is located on the right side

of the battery compartment). Amprobe

replacement fuse part number is FP 125.

3. Battery replacement: Remove battery and

replace with NEDA type 1604 or equivalent

9-volt alkaline battery.

4. Reassemble the instrument.

 WARNING

Use of an incorrect fuse could result in serious

injury or even death. Failure to turn off the

multimeter before installing the battery could

result in damage to instrument and battery.
