Possible for newbie to fix autoranging on a Mastercraft multimeter?
<< < (3/3)
rstofer:
I suppose the User Manual would answer some of your questions:

Everything (including Capacitance) is autoranging as long as the range button selection is in Auto.  Page 1 Paragraph 7
Hogwild:
I'll asume for now that my meter is working okay then.

Thanks everyone.

I'll try to do some voltage or current tests and post back.

On an inexpensive meter like this, how accurate is capacitance?

I have several of the Mastercraft multi meters and they test capacitance fairly accurately .  Just a couple issues with Mastercraft  is ,because they are all re branded, its hard to get accessories like thermo probes and fuses from Canadian Tire..For example ,although not branded Mastercraft ,the Maximum 052-1898-4 is manufactured by Mastech.And a very old Mastercraft I have is a Brymen.Numbers are worn off so I can't give you a model number. Both Mastech and Brymen have very good products.
For installing the little balls I found that just a dab of dielectric grease to stick the balls to the springs.Then set the board on top holding the switch and front cover facing down. Hope this helps in the future.
