Digital Multimeter Smart Tweezers does not measure

// January 5th, 2011 // Smart Tweezers Tricks and Tips

There are two  most likely reasons why Digital Multimeter Smart Tweezers does not measure:

1. The front-end circuit is burned. This happens if you apply voltage higher than allowable (1.4 Volts in Auto mode and 8 Volts in Voltage mode) or try to measure a charged capacitor with Smart Tweezers. Obviously Smart Tweezers require repair in this case.
2. The slide-switch at the bottom-left corner of Smart Tweezers is in wrong (right-most) position. In this case the problem is easily fixable by sliding the switch into the right (left-most) position.
