Micrometer is used to measure

the diameter of wires/conductors
in circular mils. It can measure
small and big sizes of wires and
cables.
Wire Gauge is used in
determining the size of wires
/conductors. The gauge
ranges from
0 to 60 awg
( American wire
gauge).
Ruler/foot rule is a measuring tool
used to measure length, width, and
thickness of short flat objects and
to draw straight lines
Pull-Push Rule is a measuring
tool used to measure the length
of an object in centimeter and
inches.
Ammeter is an
instrument used
to measure the
amount of electrical current intensity
in a circuit. The unit of measure is
ampere (a). It is connected along or
series to the circuit.
Voltmeter is an instrument used to
measure the electrical pressure or
voltage of a circuit. The unit of
measure is volt (v). This is
connected across or parallel to the
circuit.
Clamp Ammeter is also called tong-
tester. It is used to measure the
current flowing in a conductor. It is
clamped or hung in a conductor.
Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM)
also called multi-tester, is used to
measure the voltage, resistance, and
current of a circuit. It is connected in
parallel or series with the circuit
depending on what to measure.
The Multi-tester is sometimes called
the VOM (voltmeter, ohmmeter,
milliammeter).
It is an instrument that
can measure voltage,
resistance, and current.
It is generally made of
two types: the analog
and the digital.
 POINTER. The
needle-shaped
rod that moves
over the scale of
a meter.
Pointer. It is
mechanically
connected to the
moving coil. it
indicates the
measured values on
the multimeter
scale.
RANGE SELECTOR
KNOB(Selector switch)
makes it possible to
select different
functions and range
of the meter.

Adjustment screw makes

it possible to adjust the
pointer to the zero
position of the scale.
SCALE is a series
of markings used
for reading the
value of a voltage,
current.
SCALE can have
different types of
scale, for voltage and
current readings the
scales have mostly
linear which means
equal division.
Zero-ohm adjusting
Knob is used to zero-
in the pointer before
measuring resistance.

Test probe positive

(red),negative (black)
is used to connect the
circuit to the electrical
components being
tested
A. Proper care and maintenance of the
multitester

1. Read manual of instructions on how to

operate the multitester.
2. In reading the amount of voltage, always
start with the highest range to avoid reading
voltage higher than the tester setting.
3. Be sure that the tester is set to the correct
range setting: resistance range when
measuring the ohm, voltage range when
measuring voltage and ammeter range when
measuring the value of electric current.
4. Always check the condition of
its battery. Worn out batteries
will damage the internal setting
of the tester.
5. When the tester is not in used
or will be stored, set the selector
switch to 1000V or to OFF
position.
6. Never drop the tester.
Test Light is a pocket-sized tool
used to test the presence of
current in a line wire or circuit.
