(printable outline)By attending this seminar, you will learn to read your digital multimeter (DMM). This seminar is hands-on from the moment the instructor greets you in the morning until he sends you home. You will complete exercises where you will measure AC and DC voltage and current, resistance, continuity, capacitance, and more. You will learn to use your multimeter in electrical troubleshooting procedures and significantly reduce your downtime.
Through these hands-on activities you will gain confidence working with DMMs that you never had before. In today’s fast-paced, high-tech industrial electricity environment, it is a must that anyone involved in machine repair be knowledgeable in the operation of DMMs. A slight mistake with a DMM can destroy the meter and possibly cause you a serious injury or damage the equipment you are supposed to be repairing.
This class will teach you how to use a DMM with an emphasis on electrical troubleshooting. You will learn to test electric motors, capacitors, transformers, heating elements, diodes, and much more. You will also learn the proper way to test a fuse in and out of the circuit.
It is necessary for attendees to bring a digital multimeter with them to this hands-on seminar. You will benefit from this course regardless of the type of digital multimeter you have.
