➢ Objectives: Identify and describe the procedures to test
termination/connection of electrical wiring/electronics circuits.
➢ Title of Textbook/LM to Study: Computer Hardware Servicing Learner’s
Module 1
➢ Chapter: Pages: Topic: Using Multitester
Let Us Discover
One of the basic procedures in troubleshooting of device is the component testing. Cause of
a malfunction of a device is due to a defective component and the circuits. To isolate the problem
knowledge in basic troubleshooting techniques is needed.
Multitester
. A multitester (analog or digital) is the basic testing and
measuring instrument used in troubleshooting electronic devices.
Analog multimeter or multitester uses a moving pointer to display
readings. Digital multimeters have a numeric display. It may also
show a graphical bar representing the measured value.

Using a Multitester for Beginners Digital
1. Transformer is a device with primary and secondary windings. It will transfer power from the
primary windings to the secondary windings through induction. An open transformer in the
primary winding will prevent any primary current and therefore, there will be no induced voltage
in the secondary current, and no voltage will be present across the load. An open secondary
winding will prevent the flow of secondary current, and once again, no voltage could be present
across the load.
A partial or complete short circuit in the primary or secondary winding of the transformer will
result in an excessive source current that will probably result in the overheating of the
transformer, which could lead to being burned.

Testing transformer by checking its continuity
There are several ways to test a transformer, but we will discuss the safest way.
Check for Continuity
Step 1. Set the range selector to C or find this symbol (See
figure 1) Figure 1
Step 2. Connect any test probe to the extended wire of the
transformer. (See figure 2) Figure 2
Step 3. Connect the other end of the test probe to each of Figure 3
the pins. (See figure 3)
Step 4. If the needle pointer deflects, there is continuity. If Figure 4
not, the connection is cut.
(See figure 4)
2. Transistor
Transistor is a semiconductor component, basically used as a switching by amplifying
signal. And it has two types, the NPN and the PNP transistor with the three leads called the
emitter, base, and the collector.
Hold your transistors are an exceptionally, reliable component. They will still
malfunction. These failures are normally result of excessive temperature or current or
mechanical abuse and generate result in one of these problems:
a. An open circuit between two or three of the transistor’s leads.
b. A short circuit between two or three of the transistor’s leads.
c. A change in the transistor’s characteristics.
Testing an NPN Transistor
Figure 5
Step 1. Set the analog multitester range to time 1
or X1. (See figure 5)
Step 2. Connect the negative test probe to the
base and the positive test probe to the emitter.
(See figure 6)
The needle pointer should deflect. (See
figure 7)
Figure 6 Figure 7
Step 3. Connect the negative test probe to the
base and the positive test probe to the collector.
(See figure 8) Figure 8
Step 4. The needle pointer should be deflected.
The reading must be the same as the reading in Figure 9
Step 1. (See figure 9)

Let Us Try
Activity 1: Know Me
Directions: Write TRUE if the proceeding statement is correct and FALSE if it is wrong. Write
your answer before the number.
1. Transformer will transfer power from the primary windings to the secondary
windings through induction.
2. A partial or complete short circuit in the primary or secondary winding of the
transformer will result in an excessive source power.
3. An open transformer in the primary winding will prevent any primary current.
4. PNP transistor has three leads called the emitter, base, and the collector.
5. To check for continuity, you must change the range selector ohms.

Activity 2: Organization
Directions: Identify the following procedures inside the rectangle, arrange them in
chronologically order by writing a letter (a-d) inside the box, and categorize them where they
belong by connecting a line on the circle namely Test Transistor and Test Transformer.
The reading must be the same as the Set the range selector to C or find this
reading in Step 1. symbol.
Connect any test probe to the extended Connect the negative test probe to the base
wire of the transformer. and the positive test probe to the collector.
Connect the negative test probe to the base
and the positive test probe to the emitter. Connect the other end of the test probe to
each of the pins.
If the needle pointer deflects, there is Set the analog multitester range to time 1 or
continuity. If not, the connection is cut. X1.
