Operation
The basic usage steps for operating the Mini-Pro® Digital Multimeter Model 2405A are as follows:
1. Voltage Measurements:
– Connect the red test lead to the “VΩ” jack and the black test lead to the “COM” jack.
– Set the Function/Range switch to the desired voltage type (AC or DC) and range. If the magnitude of voltage is unknown, set the switch to the highest range and reduce until a satisfactory reading is obtained.
– Connect the test leads to the device or circuit being measured.
– For DC, a (-) sign is displayed for negative polarity, while positive polarity is implied.
2. Current Measurements:
– Set the Function/Range switch to the desired current range.
– For current measurements less than 200mA, connect the red test lead to the µA/mA jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
– For current measurements greater than 200mA, connect the red test lead to the 10A jack and the black test lead to the COM jack.
3. Resistance Measurements:
– Set the Function/Range switch to the desired resistance range.
– Remove power from the equipment under test.
– Connect the red test lead to the “VΩ” jack and the black test lead to the “COM” jack.
– Connect the test leads to the points of measurements and read the value from the display.
4. Diode Tests:
– Connect the red test lead to the “VΩ” jack and the black test lead to the “COM” jack.
– Set the Function/Range switch to the “-+” position.
– Turn off power to the circuit under test. External voltage across the components causes invalid readings.
– Touch probes to the diode. A forward-voltage drop is about 0.6V (typical for a silicon diode).
– Reverse probes. If the diode is good, “1” is displayed. If the diode is shorted, “.000” or another number is displayed.
– If the diode is open, “1” is displayed in both directions.
5. Battery Test:
– Connect the red test lead to the “µA/mA” jack and the black test lead to “COM” jack.
– Set the Function/Range switch to the desired 1.5V or 9V battery test range.

Safety & Warnings
Always inspect your meter, test leads, and accessories for any sign of damage or abnormality before every use. If any abnormal conditions exist, such as broken test leads, cracked cases, or display not reading, do not attempt to take any measurements. Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight, extreme temperature, or moisture.
Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Do not touch exposed metal pipes, outlets, fixtures, etc., which might be at ground potential. Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry clothing, rubber shoes, rubber mats, or any approved insulating material.
To avoid electric shock, use caution when working with voltages above 40Vdc or 20Vac. Never exceed the maximum allowable input value of any function when taking a measurement. Refer to the specifications for maximum inputs. Never touch exposed wiring, connections, or any live circuit when attempting to take measurements.
When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
Measuring voltage which exceeds the limits of the multimeter may damage the meter and expose the operator to a shock hazard. Always recognize the meter voltage limits as stated on the front of the meter.
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the test leads and any input signals before replacing the battery. Replace only with the same type of battery (9-Volt).
