Does meter power up?

1.

ON

YES

Check:

a. Power supplies
TP1 = 3.1V dc +/-0.1V
TP3 = 1.5V dc
U1 pin 48 = 6V dc (Battery voltage - TPIV)
(If any of these voltages are high, low, or missing,
replacement of U1 is usually necessary)
b. For loose pins on U1, U2
c. Battery voltage
d. S1 for bad contacts
e. VR1 for 1.2V dc
f. Shield for short to Q3
g. For solder debris/shortd

Meter powers up, but
does not come out of
self-test.

2.

YES

NO

Check:

a. For loose pins on U1, U2
b. For shorted C5, 6, 7, or 8
c. Contacts of S1
d. For shorted pins on U1, U2
e. Y1 Frequency @ 32.768 kHz

Meter comes up with
missing segments.

3.

YES

NO

Check:

a. LCD for cracks
b. For contaminated display interconnects or display
contact areas
c. For loose pins on U2
d. For cracks in U2 package
e. Junction of R11 and R12 for 1.6V dc.

Switch meter to V and
apply 3V dc. Does
meter display 3 VDC?

4.

ON

YES

Probable cause:

a. RV1 or RV2 or RV3 shorted
b. S1 Contacts bad
c. Z1 open or out of tolerance
d. U1 bad
e. U1 loose/shorted pins

Does meter autorange
correctly?

5.

ON

YES

Probable cause:

a. U1 bad
b. S1 bad

Switch meter to V.
Apply 3V @ 500 Hz.
Does meter display
3 VAC?

6.

YES

NO

Probable cause:

a. U1 bad (also check for loose or shorted pins)
b. S1 bad
c. C9, C11 shorted

Switch meter to .
Apply 100 ohms. Does
meter display 100 ?

7.

NO

YES

Probable cause:

a. S1 bad
b. Q1, Q2 shorted
c. Loose pins on U1, U2
d. U1 bad

Switch meter to A.
Apply 300 mA dc. Does
meter display 300 DC?

8.

NO

YES

Probable cause:

a. F1, F2 open
b. S1 bad
c. R7 open
d. Open land patterns in current path

Switch meter to .
Does beeper sound
when leads are
shorted?

9.

NO
