Beckman HD130B Multimeter

[Robert Dunn]

Good day,
I'm looking for a manual for this meter, but keep going down dead end streets. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Bob

From ebay

https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Beckman-HD130B-True-RMS-3-1-2-Digit-Multimeter-LCD-Display-With-Leads-Manual-/252882418234

it shares the same manual with other models.

What specifically are you looking for in the manual?

Thanks for the link. He's selling the meter with the manual (which is very pricey). I'm hoping someone on the forum has an e-copy of the manual.
I wanted the manual because my meter is not reading dc milliamperes.

Check to see the fuse is open or not.

See if modemhead's blog entry helps?

Thanks for your help. I couldn't remember how to plug the leads, it's been so long since I used it. It would still be nice to have a manual (even a photo copy).

Any manual from Beckman will be similar and close enough in terms of operation.  Specs will obviously be different.

Careful the input jacks are backwards on the Beckman compared to today's multimeters.
Amps on the right, volts on the left. Easy to make a mistake if you are running other gear.

But it's a good DMM I use for field troubleshooting. Way more reliable than the cheap chinese junk out there.

Thanks for the tip on the other manual. I downloaded it and printed it. There is one available on eBay in California, but he won't ship to Canada--too bad!

To conclude: My daughter have a place in Mesa, so I had the eBay manual shipped to her place. I'll get it in the fall.

the hd 130  did not had a buzzer  it had an ohm sign on the display for the continuity,  normally you had a blue buzzer in theses years   

in the shown pictures you dont have a buzzer, just the rectifier bridge ??

I think you meant to post here about the HD130 lack of beeper ? https://www.eevblog.com/forum/buysellwanted/part-id-for-beckman-industried-hd-130-multimeter/msg3864599/#msg3864599

Thanks for the link to the manual on the HD130B.  It showed me where to go on the controls to activate the 10 amp plug.  One goes to the 20ma/10A position.  Also, the photos in this thread show the dial.
