Someone please help me.
Wow! That's a tough one. I just spent a half hour researching and found basically nothing. I went to the Amrel website and found no multimeters at all. Here are a few ideas (if it were me who had to do it):
- Is it possibly private labeled (i.e.: actually made by someone else)? If so, maybe try to track down the real OEM for it. That's a very intuitive pursuit.
- Is there a user you can query for some sort of manual to give you a good starting point? Then use info found in the manual to help research.
- Is there possibly an Army T.B. type procedure for it with adjustments?
- Last Resort.... I've been known to open and reverse engineer the inside of a meter (experiment with the alignment pots inside to determine what they each do). This is definitely a last resort and only for those not faint of metrological heart.
Don't know if the above is just a rehash or any help. Hopefully its of some value.
I had to give up on that one but I have another one in front of me that is acting up too. So once again I ask does anyone have an alignment procedure for an Amrel 39 American Reliance multimeter?
Give them a ring- 1-800-654-9838.
I'm with Hawaii- It's probably a rebadge of an Extech or BK Precision POS.
Thanks I actually did the tinker and check method and figured out what pot I needed. The first meter I messed up the dc millamps when I fixed the DC volts and on the second meter I got it right the first time. Of course when I was done I did a complete recalibration on both meters and it all checked out good. Thanks for the help.
That method is definitely scary; and takes a lot of instinct to know if or when you should even try it.
One thing I try to do in such cases is once I figure it all out (which pot does what), draw a diagram of the meter with my reverse-engineered adjustment pots so when (not if) it comes back out of spec again, It'll go easier.
