A simple benchtop setup to test a relay using a power supply and multimeter.Rob Stumpf Testing a relay is a fairly simple process that you can do at home with very little equipment. In a pinch, you can use your car’s battery and a multimeter, but to perform some proper bench testing...
In this post we’re going to show you how to use a multimeter. This post is mostly addressed for beginners who are starting out in electronics and have no idea how to use a multimeter and how it can be useful.We’ll explore the most common features on a multimeter and how to measure...
Milliamp-hours, or mAh, are the units technicians use to measure a battery's useful operating lifetime, or how long the battery will last when it powers a normal electrical load. You can measure a battery's mAh rating using a multimeter, a resistor to act as a load and a stopwatch to...
Continuity is a great way to test if two SMD pins are touching. If your eyes can't see it, the multimeter is usually a great second testing resource. When a system is not working, continuity is one more thing to help troubleshoot the system. Here are the steps to take: ...

Introduction of how to use a digital multimeter. Selecting measurement parameter, switching ranges, and connecting test leads.
Using a Multimeter to test the voltage on a LiPo Battery. Probe Types There are many differenttypes of probesavailable for multimeters. Here are a few of our favorites: Banana to Alligator Clips: These are great cables for connecting to large wires or pins on a breadboard. Good for performin...
How do you test a sensor for continuity? Multimeter Test: Continuity Disconnect the wires for the sensor at its power source (Point A in the diagram). Plug the black probe into the COM (common) port on your multimeter. ... Set your multimeter to Continuity - the symbol looks a bit lik...
handy for continuity tests (though many multimeters have a dedicated mode for that which beeps). You also measure resistance during many electronics troubleshooting steps on a circuit board. Electricians can also use a multimeter to test ground resistance when sinking ground rods for electrical panels...
Measuring a fuse on board with an analog multimeter The common type and current rating of a fuse in a Monitor and Power Supply are slow blow 3.15A to 5 Ampere. Here is the part on how to test a fuse. Switch off the power of the equipment, remove the casing and you will see a fus...
