Changing the Fuse in the MY64 Multimeter
15 September 2005, by Bob Lineberry, Page 4
Each ECE2004/3004 kit comes with 5 spare 200 mA fuses. WARNING! These fuses have a glass
body, which can break and cut you. Which is cheaper: a fuse with a higher current rating, or a new
meter?
Turn the circuit board over on the soft surface. Find the 200 mA fuse. Note the thick wire with the
crimps in it. This is the precision current shunt, which should be protected. Use a meter probe to gently
pry one side of the fuse out of its holder. Lift out the old fuse with your fingers.
If you look through the new fuse into a light source, you may be able to see the tiny wire. Locate the
new fuse on the fuse holder prongs. Press down with equal force across the entire fuse.
