6. Testing methods for other components: a. The testing method for operating voltage drop of controlled silicon is the same as that for saturation voltage drop of common transistor in Vce (sat) step. The transistor with low voltage drop has low internal impedance and high output power. The testing method for operating current of controlled silicon is the same as that for transistor hFE step. The level of trigger current should be noted when testing controlled silicon. Insert A pole into C jack, G pole into B jack and K pole into E jack. b. Identify the output power level of transistor , controlled silicon and field effect transistor.Use Vce (sat) steps to test the transistor of the same model. The low saturation voltage drop indicates low internal impedance and high output power. c.To identify unidirectional controlled silicon and bidirectional controlled silicon, first use Vce (sat) or hEF steps of tester NPN to test. d.Identify damp of transistor. The V ( br ) step of the tester can test the reverse breakdown voltage of transistor with damp. Vce (sat) step can test its saturation voltage drop. No amplification value is found by testing it with all hFE steps. Note: When test damp transistor with damp: can test V(BR), Vce (sat) and Iceo values but hFE value.

b.Make sure test whether the power of tested transistor suits the test current of the step of hFE parameters before testing, don't use high current to test low power transistor. hFE consists of three steps and high power transistor can be tested step by step by the three steps. Observe the amplification linearity of the transistor and use the result to analyze the amplification feature of it. The step where the highest hFE is tested should be regarded the most efficient operating state of the transistor. During test, use low current step first, next middle current step and then high current step. If the test current increases and the amplification factor of transistor is unchanged or increases, the transistor can work in high current step. If the test current keeps increasing and the amplification factor of transistor decreases, the transistor cannot work in high current step. The continuous change of the displayed reading suggests the transistor cannot withstand the operating current of the step. PNP NPN T estedparam eter Connectingm ethod hFE

V. Operation Instr uction

1.Test button: press this button and high-voltage circuit works; Press it again to cancel the generation of high voltage.This button can only be used for measurement of VBR, Iceo and three-terminal voltage regulator. 2.High-voltage indicator light: this LED is on when highvoltage circuit works. 3.Reading hold button: press this button to hold the displayed readings and meanwhile "HOLD" symbol will appear. Press this button again to cancel holding and meanwhile "HOLD" symbol will disappear. 4.Liquid crystal display screen: the characters on the reading location of tested values can only be clearly viewed in environment with light due to features of liquid crystal. 5.External electric supply socket: the specification of power supply is 6V 3A DC regulator. 6.Capacitor test socket: tested electrolytic capacitor jack 7.Transistor test socket: tested transistor jack 8.Rotary switch: power switch and measuring function Selection. Before use, first please check whether the battery power is sufficient. Turn the rotary switch to any range step for testing Vce (sat) (Common emitter saturation voltage drop) and about 6V will be displayed. This value is the approximation of the battery power (negative voltage in PNP range). The remnant power of battery can thus be determined. If the battery power is insufficient, the " LOBAT" symbol will appear on the display 3

Press the test button "TEST" and the instantly displayed reading is the breakdown voltage of the capacitor. Meanwhile, the sound of breakdown and discharge may appear. "1" is finally displayed. (8) Test Varistor Connect it according to the picture and turn the rotary switch to 200V step of NPN or PNN. Please select 1000V step if the operating voltage of the varistor is above 300V. Press the test button "TEST" and the displayed reading is namely the operating voltage of varistor. (9) DC voltage signal source If a DC voltage signal is required during operation, 200V and 1000V step can output DC voltage. NPN 200V step: there is about 270V DC voltage between C and E, C positive and E negative. 1000V step: there is about 1500V DC voltage between C and E, C positive and E negative. PNP 200V step: there is about 270V DC voltage between C and E, C negative and E positive. 1000V step: there is about 1500V DC voltage between C and E, C negative and E positive.

One must cancel the "TEST" button and make sure the red LED light is off before taking the component. b.One need not worry about transistor damage since the current is controlled within 1mA when this tester tests transistor reverse breakdown voltage. If the I CEO of the tested transistor itself has exceeded 1mA, the reverse breakdown voltage of it cannot be tested. Please test the I CEO of the tested transistor before testing its reverse breakdown voltage. c.If use 200V and 1000V step to test the same transistor respectively, the tested withstand voltage of good quality transistor should be the same. If the tested voltage varies greatly, the reverse breakdown feature of the tested transistor is poor or there is a high I CEO. 6

Poor contact will easily cause high voltage spark and damage the tested transistor. e. The tested capacitor has bee charged. To avoid electric shock, do not touch the metal leg of the capacitor when taking it. Discharge it outside the tester. If the charge on the capacitor is released in the tester, the tester may be damaged. f. Since various transistors vary in PN junction technique and materials, this tester will obtain various forward voltage drop when testing the PN junction forward voltage drop of tested transistor, which can be used to identify various transistors. This tester has obtained following data for reference only: Tested forward voltage drop of germanium transistor PN junction should be 0.1~0.3V; Tested forward voltage drop of silicon transistor PN junction should be 0.4~0.6V; Tested forward voltage drop of zener Diode should be 1.0V; Tested normal forward voltage drop of infrared emitting diode should be 1.0V; Tested normal diode voltage of bidirectional trigger diode should be about 30V; Tested normal forward voltage drop of light emitting diode should be 1.5V~1.8V;
