Hi Terry and all,
I have downloaded the contents of the link given by John Gregory for anyone
with the Nextech unit which I was very lucky to get some years ago and use a
lot. Lovely unit.
Thanks John for this, already learnt something new! Aedan.
Description And Manual For Nextech Talking MultiMeter
Distributed by Orbyx Electronics Limited
Description
The following description is provided by a MultiMeter owner.
This morning I had the opportunity to sit down with two of our plant
engineers and my newly acquired talking
multimeter. Some of the instructions in the manual were not obvious to me
but soon explained. Remember too that I
am not an electronics expert so some of the functions are not clear to me.
There is one function none of us worked
out, something labelled "REL". It is mentioned but the manufacturer assumes
that I am not so much of an idiot as to
need this function explained.
(Rel (Relative) sets meter to zero, see below)
The multimeter is not exactly as described in the manual but very similar.
It comes with removable test leads, the
manual reports them as attached.
In the box is the main body of the meter, two test leads with pointed caps
over the pointed probes and caps
inserted into the bayonet like fittings which insert into sockets on the
front of the body of the meter. There is
also a nylon carry wallet and the manual.
The body of the meter is about 6 inches high, three and a half wide and
about two inches thick, actual
specifications will be with the manual further down when I get there. The
lower end is bevelled for about three
quarters of an inch on the face surface and partially rounded at the bottom
end of the edges. There is a rubberized
boarder wrapping the entire outer edge of the meter giving it both
protection and a easily and securely gripped
surface.
The rear panel has two screws at the lower edge probably for disassembly, a
flip out support leg, something like
often found on the back of picture frames to hold them up on a slight angle.
I do not find this satisfactory but I
suppose optically enabled people would be happy enough to hold it more
easily visible.
About the top third of the rear panel has a plastic battery cover. To remove
this, a screw is released from the
lower edge of this cover, located between the two upper hinges of the
support stand. There is a slot at the top of
the cover to pry it off with. It is a little tight. It gives access to the
bay for three double 'A' batteries.
Of more interest is the front panel. The top quarter contains the LCD
display. This display reveals the meter
numbers but some other characters such as "O L" when the meter is reading
out of range, "overload". There are some
other symbols to indicate modes. The LCD display can be back lit for better
viewing clarity or low light
conditions.
The lower mounting for the meter is rounded, a little like a smile I suppose
with three buttons quite flush mounted
around this curve.
The left most of these buttons is labelled "HOLD",
the second or middle button "FUNCTION" and the right most button is "REL".
So far we do not know what is meant by "REL". It seems to have something to
do with calibrating capacitor readings.
(Sets to zero)
Below these three buttons are two round and textured buttons. The left most
is the "LOC" button which turns on the
back light. If you press it in and rotate it, the light is locked on.
The right button of this pair is the "TALK" button. Press it and the display
is spoken. Press and rotate it and
continuous talking is enabled where the reading is continuously repeated at
about two second intervals until this
feature is disabled.
Below the buttons there is a rotary select dial, about two inches in
diameter. It is recessed in the centre with a
bar to grasp to turn for selection of the various options.
On my model the bar is set horizontally when the switch is to the far left
or counter clockwise position, the off
position. It rotates through 7 positions to the fully clockwise position
again horizontally and again off.
Below this dial and in the corners left vacant because the dial is round are
the sockets for the probe wires. The
left one is the black, the right is the active lead. The cables push in with
the wires coming off at 90 degrees.
The active probe differs from the other one in that there is a small button
on it which will, if pressed and
released within about a second and a half will cause the meter reading
displayed to be spoken. If held longer it
causes the light to come on for 30 seconds. The tips of the probes are also
lit for sighted people to locate them I
suppose.
The functions selected by the rotary dial beginning from the left most off
position are:
DC voltage *
AC voltage
RESISTANCE *
CAPACITANCE
FREQUENCY
AMPERAGE *
NOTE: * indicates multiple function.
* "DC" mode: Pressing the "FUNCTION" key here will toggle to reading an AC
voltage over a DC carrier.
* The "RESISTANCE" mode position has three functions selected by pressing
the "FUNCTION" button. This switches
between "RESISTANCE", "DIODE" and "CONTINUITY" modes. A loud beep is heard
as the modes change. In the CONTINUITY
mode, a continuous tone is generated when a circuit is intact.
No tone if circuit is open.
*"AMPERAGE" or current: The "FUNCTION" key toggles between AC and DC.
Otherwise, the range selection is all
automatic. You are warned not to exceed 1000 volts DC or 750 volts AC. I
cannot speak to the accuracy of this meter
except to say that it is very consistently reading 60 Hz frequency when I
attach it to the wall circuit. The
engineers at work thought they might buy one for the Hospital for
calibrating our emergency generator. Apparently
dedicated frequency meters cost around three hundred dollars. One thought he
would buy one just to listen to a
clear intelligent female voice since his wife doesn't talk to him any more.
It should be noted that reference to 500 volts is made in the manual as is
reference to selecting measurement
ranges however this latter requirement must apply to an earlier version of
the meter as there is no way to select
ranges.
Below I will insert the manual as I scanned it last week with K1000. I hope
this helps satisfy some of your
curiosity. For 40 bucks Canadian this is a pretty good deal in my view and
the device appears to me to be well made
and executed.

Installing the battery
Your meter requires 3 AA batteries (not included).
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect both of the meter's test leads from
any equipment before you install or
remove the meter's battery.
. Do not operate your meter until the battery is properly installed and the
battery compartment cover is in place
and secured.
Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the required size and recommended type.
1. Set the selector to OFF.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws in the battery
compartment cover, then lift off the cover
3. Place the battery in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols
(+ and -) marked inside.
4. Replace the cover and secure it with the screws.
When £3 appears on the display, the display dims, or the meter does not seem
to measure accurately, replace the
battery. If the battery power is extremely low, ["*+! does not display.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not bury or burn
them.
Caution: Always remove an old or weak battery. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts. If
you are not going to use the meter for a few weeks, remove the battery.
USING THE METER
Caution: Do not try to measure voltage greater than 1000V DC/ 750V RMS AC.
To use the meter, open the meter's case
by pulling the tabs on the case in opposite directions. Then unwind the test
leads from inside the cover. Caution:
The test leads are permanently attached to the meter. Do not try to remove
them. Rotate the selector to the
function you want to use. Then connect the test leads to the circuit you
want to measure. See the unit of measure
on the front of the meter to distinguish the range. For example, DC V
includes we ranges; 400 my, 4V, 40, 400 and
1000. Caution: If OL appears when you are measuring voltage, the value you
are measuring exceeds the meter's
maximum range. Immediately disconnect the probes from the circuit or your
meter might be damaged. Also, note the
position of the decimal. When you
1. Set the selector to OFF .
2. Put in carrying case.
3. Tuck the test leads inside the carrying case and close the cover.
Making measurements Measuring DC/AC Voltage
Warning: The maximum input limit for voltage measurement is 1000V DC and
750V AC (RMS). To avoid electrical shock
and damage to the meter, never try to measure a DC voltage above 1000 volts
or an AC voltage above 750 volts RMS.
Follow these steps to measure DC or AC voltage:
1. Set the selector to DC V to measure DC voltage or set AC V to measure AC
voltage.
2. Connect the test leads to the circuit you want to test.
3. If you cannot determine the correct position, set the range switch to the
highest range for the type of voltage
(AC or DC) you are measuring, then reduce it as necessary until the correct
range is reached.
When you want the meter to announce the test result, press the switch on the
red test lead for less than 1.5
seconds. If you want the meter to be alluminated press the switch on the red
test lead for more than 1.5 seconds,
and the meter will be lit for 30 seconds.
Measuring AC Voltage Riding on a DC Source Bias
To measure an AC voltage superimposed on a DC voltage source bias, you must
first measure the DC and AC voltages
separately, then compute the peak voltage using this formula:
£^--^9*+T
Warning: To avoid injury to yourself or damage to your meter, never try to
measure an AC voltage that is riding on
a DC source bias where the peak voltage exceeds 500 V with respect to earth
ground.
Caution: Never try to measure any voltage more than 30V AC on a DC source
bias. Follow these steps to measure AC
voltage:
1. Set the selector to DC V.
2. Connect the test leads to the circuit you want to test. The display shows
the DC voltage.
3. Disconnect the test leads from the circuit.
4. Set the selector to AC V.
5. Connect the meter's test leads again to the same circuit you tested in
Step 2. The display shows the AC voltage.
6. To compute the peak voltage, refer to the formula seen above.
Measuring resistance
The resistance measuring circuit in your meter compares the voltage gained
through a known internal resistance with
the voltage developed across an unknown resistance.
Warning: Be sure the circuit under testing has all power removed and any
associated capacitors are fully discharged
before you make a resistance measurement.
1. Set the selector to OHM/DIODE/CONTINUE.
Caution: Your meter has a circuit to protect the resistance range from
over-voltage. However, to prevent
accidentally exceeding the protection circuit's rating and to ensure a
correct measurement, never connect the test
leads to a source of voltage while the selector is set to
OHM/DIODE/CONTINUE.
Note:
1. If there is no resistance connected across the test leads or the measured
value exceeds the range you set, OL
appears when you set the selector to OHM.
This is normal.
2. Connect the test leads across the circuit you want to measure. Or, remove
one of the component's leads you want
to measure from its circuit and connect the test leads across the component.
The meter displays the reading in the
chosen range.
3. If you want the meter to announce the test result, press the switch on
the red test lead for less than 1.5
seconds. If you want the meter to be alluminated, press the switch on the
red test lead for more than 1.5 seconds,
and the meter will be lit for 30 seconds.
Checking diodes
This measurement lets you check diodes, transistors, and other
semiconductors for opens, shorts, and normal
operation. It also lets you determine the forward voltage for diodes. (This
is handy when you need to match a
diode).
Caution: Do not connect the test leads to a source of voltage when you set
the selector to Diode. This could damage
the meter or circuit being tested.
to change the meter to the diode function.
2. Remove power from the circuit under test.
3. Connect the test leads across the circuit you want to measure, or remove
one of the component's leads you want
to measure from its circuit and connect the test leads across the component.
Then note the reading.
4. Reverse the test leads and note the second reading.
In a circuit, a good diode should till forward-bias reading of 0.5V to 0.8V;
however, the reverse-bias reading can
vary depending on the resistance of other pathways between the probe tips.
Note:
1. The values that appear during the diode check show the actual forward
voltage (max. 1.5V).
2. If you want the meter to announce the test result, press the switch on
the red test lead for less than 1.5
seconds. If you want the meter to be alluminated, press the switch on the
red test lead for more than 1.5 seconds,
and the meter will be lit for 30 seconds.
Continuity Sound Test
Position the selector switch on the OHM/DIODE/CONTINUE and press the
"FUNCTION "key to change the meter to the
continuity function. Audible beep when R<35 ohm.
Cap Test
Position the selector switch on the "CAP" function. Press the "REL" key to
make the meter "zero".
Automatic range selection: Read the measured value. The capacitance should
be discharged before the test. Hold, if
necessary, by pressing the "HOLD" key.
If you want the meter to announce the test result, press the switch on the
red test lead for less than 1.5 seconds.
If you want the meter to be alluminated, press the switch on the red test
lead for more than 1.5 seconds, and the
meter will be lit for 30 seconds.
Frequency Measurement
Position the selector switch on the "Hz" function.
Automatic range selection: Read the measured value. Hold, if necessary, by
pressing the "HOLD" key. If you want the
meter to announce the test result, press the switch on the red test lead for
less than 1.5 seconds. If you want the
meter to be alluminated, press the switch on the red test lead for more than
1.5 seconds, and the meter will be lit
for 30 seconds.
Note: Because of high sensitivity in this function, the meter will catch a
signal and will display the number with
the test-leads open.
Maintenance Care
Your LCD Digital Multimeter is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help
you care for the meter so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the meter dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might
contain minerals that can corrode the
electronic circuits.

Hi David
If I turn the dial two clicks anti clockwise, e.g. starting from 3 o'clock
on the dial, it says frequency, when I press the right hand side raised
button.
If I turn it one click anti clockwise, it says dc, just as it does if I turn
it one click clockwise, starting from the 9 o'clock position.
On the 10 o'clock dc position, I get the OL, and on the 2 o'clock dc
position, I get a minus milli volt reading.

Hi all
I just got my multi metre out after not using it for ages, and could do with
a reminder of the buttons.
I'm trying to test a car battery, and have the dial turned to dc, about 10
o'clock on the dial. It just keeps saying "ol", when the prongs are attached
to the terminals.
What am I doing wrong? Also, does anyone have the manual for it?
Any help appreciated.
Terry
