lead to the COM input terminal.

Test Lead Check

1. Set the rotary switch to the Ω range.

2. Touch the test lead tips together.

3. Resistance should read less than 0.5Ωand the audio tone should sound.

4. With the leads not touching, the display should read OL indicating over-range.

5. Readings displayed other than the readings described above are evidence of a

problem and the test leads must be replaced before using the meter. Failure to do so

could result in damage to equipment and electrical shock. If replacing the test leads

does not solve the problem, return the instrument for repair.

Warning

Ensure that the circuit under test does not include components that can be damaged by 1000VDC; such

devices include power factor correction capacitors, low voltage mineral insulated cables, electronic light

dimmers, and ballasts/starters for fluorescent lamps.

1. Set the Rotary switch to the Loposition.

2. Connect the red test lead to the VΩ terminal and the black lead to the COM terminal.

3. Touch the test leads together and press the key to zero the display.

4. Connect the probes to the ciruit under test. If there is a voltage present, it will be

displayed. A repetitive beep and the flashing high voltage symbol will be displayed if

the voltage is over 30V. Remove the voltage before proceeding to the next step.

5. Press and hold the TEST key until a stable reading is displayed.

6. Release the TEST key. The upper right hand display will hold the reading until a new

test is started or a different function is selected.

7. Swap the red and black probes to reverse the polarity of the test current. The reading

should remain the same. This test is useful to detect corroded connections which can

cause different readings in both polarities.

Applications

Measuring Power Tools and Small Appliances

This section applies to any device under test that uses a

line cord. For double insulated power tools, the meter’s

leads should be connected to the device’s housing (chuck,

blade, etc.) and to the lines of the power cord. Refer to the

diagram.

Testing AC Motors

Disconnect the motor from the line by disconnecting the wires from the motor terminals or

opening the mains switch.

If the mains switch is opened, and the motor also has a motor-starter, then the starter must

be held in the ON position. With the mains switch opened, the measured resistance will

include the resistance of the motor wire and all other components between the motor and

the main switch. If a weakness is indicated, the motor and other components should be

checked individually. If the motor is disconnected at the motor terminals, connect one

meter lead to the grounded motor housing and the other lead to one of the motor leads.

Refer to diagram at below.

Notes:

1. The STARTER must be in the ON position during the

Motor Starter Mains

Switch Line

GND

Model 380363 Version 2.0 July 2005

Testing DC Motors

1. Disconnect the motor from the line.

2. To test the brush rigging, field coils and armature, connect one meter lead to the

grounded motor housing and the other lead to the brush on the commutator.

3. If the resistance measurement indicates a weakness, raise the brushes off of the

commutator and separately test the armature, field coils and brush rigging (one at a

time). Leave one lead connected to the grounded motor housing while testing the

motor components. This also applies to DC Generators.

Testing Cables

1. Disconnect the cable under test from the line.

2. Disconnect the opposite end of the cable to avoid errors as a result of leakage from

other equipment.

3. Check each conductor to ground and/or lead sheath by connecting one meter lead to

ground and/or lead sheath and the other meter lead to each of the conductors in turn.

4. Check insulation resistance between conductors by connecting meter leads to

conductors in pairs. Refer to diagram. In the diagram, note that the 3-conductor cable

has two wires shorted to the ground shield. This two-wire/shield connection is then

connected to one side of the meter. The remaining conductor is connected to the

other side of the meter.
