Resistance measurement

e.g.: 4.5 kOhm resistor

Capacitance

e.g.: SMD capacitor

Frequency (logic)

e.g.: Counter impulse frequency

Continuity (sound buzzer)

e.g.: between different "ground" points of the circuit

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does AKTAKOM AM-1060 multimeter have auto power off function?
  • How can I deactivate Auto Power Off function of AKTAKOM AM-1060 multimeter?
  • How DMM is designed (disassembled view)
  • How to replace or install the batteries in AM-1060?

  • Does AKTAKOM AM-1060 multimeter have auto power off function?

    Yes, it does. There is Auto Power Off function in AM-1060: the device power automatically goes off if you do not use the device within 15 minutes. 30 seconds before the device powers off it will make 3 short sound signals and before powering off – one more long signal. To start the operation again press any button or use the rotary switch.

    How can I deactivate Auto Power Off function of AKTAKOM AM-1060 multimeter?

    To deactivate Auto Power Off function press RS232 button.

    How DMM is designed (disassembled view)

    Front panel covers LCD, button board, rotary function switch gear and main plated circuit board:

    *Rubber strip between the back and front chassis covers protects from water and dust.

    Protective fuses are mounted near the inputs and sound buzzer is placed behind the LCD.

    *There is also an extra fuse fixed at the buttom (for several models)

    How to replace or install the batteries in AM-1060?

    When the batteries become exhausted or drop below the operating voltage, “BAT” indicator will appear in the LCD display. In this case the battery should be replaced, however in-spec. measurements may still be made for several hours after "Low battery indicator" appears before the instrument become inaccurate.

    WARNING! To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before removing the battery cover.

    "DC 1.5V" type AAA (e.g. AM-1060)

    1. Open the battery cover by loosing the screws with the cross-point screwdriver

    2. Carefully pull out the buttery carrier and take off the old batteries

    3. Plug the new batteries of the proper type in the holder and put it back

    4.Close the battery cover and reinstate the cover

    After completion make sure you don’t have any spare parts

    If you do find spare parts, you must start all over
