PIN-144 MANUAL
1. Overview
This instrument is a compact, battery operated, handheld 3 1/2
digital multimeter designed for use by technicians, servicemen,
students, and hobbyists who requir an instrument that is accurate,
reliable, and always ready for use. The Dual-slope-A/D converter uses
C-MOS technology for auto-zeroing, polarity selection and over-range
indication. Full overload protection is provided. It is powered by a
standard 9V type battery. Please read this manual before using the
multimeter.
