HOW TO READ SCALE PLATE

A) DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

Range (V)
0.3
3
12
30
120
300
600

How to read
Read 0~30 scale, and multiply by 0.01
Read 0~30 scale, and multiply by 0.1
Read 0~12 scale, and read directly
Read 0~30 scale, and read directly
Read 0~12 scale, and multiply by 10
Read 0~30 scale, and multiply by 10
Read 0~6 scale, and multiply by 100

E.g.
25 x 0.01=0.25V
25 x 0.1=2.5V
10x1=10V
25x1=25V
10x10=100V
25x10=250V
5x100=500V

Reading = 70 V.

B) AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

Range (V)
12
30
120
300
600

How to read
Read 0~12 scale, and read directly
Read 0~30 scale, and read directly
Read 0~12 scale, and multiply by 10
Read 0~30 scale, and multiply by 10
Read 0~6 scale, and multiply by 100

E.g.
10x1=10V
25x1=25V
10x10=100V
25x10=250V
5x100=500V

Reading = 12.5 V.

C) DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS

Range (mA)
0.06
3
30
300

How to read
Read 0~6 scale, and multiply by 0.01
Read 0~30 scale, and multiply by 0.1
Read 0~30 scale, and read directly
Read 0~30 scale, and multiply by 10

E.g.
5 x 0.01=0.05mA
25 x 0.1=2.5 mA
25x1=25 mA
25x10=250 mA

Reading = 2 mA.

D) RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS

Range
x1
x 10
x 100
x 1k

How to read
Read scale, and multiply by 1
Read scale, and multiply by 10
Read scale, and multiply by 100
Read scale, and multiply by 1000

E.g.
30 x 1 = 30
30 x 10 = 300
30 x100 = 3k
30 x1000 = 30k

Reading = 80 .
