The BK Precision Model 390A Test Bench Handheld Digital Multimeter manual provides detailed instructions for setup, operation, and troubleshooting, including battery and fuse replacement procedures, as well as safety precautions for handling high voltage measurements. It emphasizes the importance of using the correct type of test leads and maintaining them, along with ensuring the multimeter is turned off when not in use to prolong battery life.
Manual Overview
The BK Precision Model 390A Test Bench Handheld Digital Multimeter manual provides essential guidance for maintenance, troubleshooting, and safe operation. Key troubleshooting steps include checking for blown fuses if current measurements are not possible. The multimeter uses two fuses: F1 for mA input and F2 for 20A input. To diagnose a blown fuse, insert the test lead into the respective jack and set the function switch to any position other than its designated range or OFF. If no warning tone is heard, the fuse is likely blown. Replace F1 with a 0.5 A, 500 V fast blow ceramic fuse and F2 with a 20 A, 600 V fast acting ceramic fuse, both specific to BK Precision part numbers.
For battery replacement, a low battery is indicated by a symbol on the display when approximately 90% depleted. Follow the steps to replace it with a 9V alkaline battery, ensuring the battery insulator is in place. Regular inspection of safety-type test leads is advised to maintain good contact and prevent intermittent connections. Safety precautions emphasize avoiding contact with live circuits and using isolation transformers for “hot chassis” equipment.

Safety & Warnings
Remove test leads before changing battery or fuse or performing any servicing. Keep “one hand in the pocket” while handling an instrument probe to avoid contact with metal objects that could provide a ground return path. Voltage as low as 35 volts can be dangerous and hazardous. Do not exceed input ratings: DC VOLTS — 1000 V, AC VOLTS — 1000 V, OHMS 500 V, mA 500 mA, 20A 20 A, COM Do not float more than 500 volts from earth ground. Use only safety type test leads supplied with the multimeter. Turn off equipment while making test connections in high voltage circuits. Discharge high-voltage capacitors after removing power. For voltage or current measurements in high voltage equipment, do not touch equipment, meter or test leads while power is applied. Use an insulated floor material or floor mat to stand on, and an insulated work bench surface; make certain such surfaces are not damp or wet. Never work alone. Someone should be nearby to render aid if necessary. Training in CPR and first aid is highly recommended.
