METER FLASHCARD

Front

Two Technicians are discussing connecting the meter to measure amperage. Technician A states the meter leads should be connected in parallel with the circuit. Technician B states the meter leads should be connected in series with the circuit. Who is correct?

Back

Technician B is correct.

Front

The meter is set-up and connected for testing mV, but an OL reading is displayed. To correct this situation Technician A states the REL button should be pressed. Technician B states the RANGE button should be pressed. Who is correct?

Technician B

Front

Using the illustration, what dial setting would be used to test a capacitor?

Back

J

Front

To capture a maximum value automatically during testing, which function button would you press? Options: HOLD, REL, REC, HZ/DUTY

Back

REC

Front

A technician can compare known values to measured values when using the REL function of the multimeter.

Back

TRUE

Front

Who is correct regarding the category (CAT) ratings of multimeters and test leads: Technician A states that the category rating of the test leads should be equal to or higher than the multimeter itself, while Technician B states that quality test leads have a rating of CAT II 1,000V?

Using the illustration, what dial setting would be used to test for continuity?

Back

D

Front

If an AC voltage signal is acting erratic due to electrical noise/interference the reading can be smoothed out by using the LPF function.

Back

TRUE

Front

Who is correct regarding the replacement fuse: Technician A, who says a cheaper replacement fuse of similar size is acceptable, or Technician B, who states the correct replacement fuse is designed to protect against unexpected high amperage draw?

Back

TECH B

Front

Who is correct about the HOLD function button: Technician A states the HOLD button will pause or freeze the screen to capture a reading. Technician B states that pressing the HOLD button again will return to the live electrical reading?
