How to Use a Multifunction Tester


Familiarising yourself with its functionalities is the first step towards harnessing its full potential. Begin by acquainting yourself with the device's interface and controls. Most modern testers boast intuitive designs, but a brief user manual read always helps.

Next, identify the task and select the tester's appropriate function. Precision is paramount whether you're measuring voltage, testing continuity, or checking resistance. Ensure proper connections and adhere to safety protocols to mitigate any risks. With practice, navigating through the intricacies of your multifunction tester will become second nature, transforming you into a bona fide electrical diagnostics expert.

How to Calibrate a Multifunction Tester


Like a finely tuned instrument, your multifunction tester requires periodic calibration to maintain peak performance.

Calibration is important and should be carried out by specialist external labs. Multifunction tester calibration can help ensure that the multifunction tester is working according to the manufacturer's specifications.

It should be carried out at regular intervals, typically annually, but the more often, the better – especially if the equipment is frequently used.
