Simpson 2 Series - Measuring Resistances

4.
Operating Instructions
Observe the meter indication. It should read 0 on the
right hand end of the OHMS arc, which is at the top of
the dial.
If che pointer does not read 0, rotate the ZERO OHMS
knob until it does. If you cannot bring the pointer far
enough to read 0, one or more batteries need to be
replaced.
When the pointer shows zero, unclip the shorted test
leads; the ohmmeter circuit is now ready to measure
resistance.
MEASURING RESISTANCES
To measure resistance, proceed as follows:
k
Set the range switch in one of the resistance range
positions.
Use R x 1 for resistance readings from 0 to 200 ohms.
Use Rx100 for resistance readings from 200 up to
20,000 ohms.
Use Rx10,000 for resistance readings above 20,000
ohms.
Set the function switch at either D. C. or D. C.
Connect the black test lead in the COMMON - jack and
the red test lead in the + jack.
Short the test leads together and adjust for zero ohms
(see instructions above).
Separate the test leads and connect them across the
resistance which is to be measured. If there is a for-
