Power switch and function switch
Turn this switch to turn on and off the power and to select the
functions of V, / / , , A, mA, A.
Range hold switch
Pressing this switch once sets the manual mode and the range is
fixed. ("AUTO" on the display disappears)
Once the manual mode is set, the range moves each time this
switch is pressed. Checking the unit on the display and the place
of the decimal point, select a desired range. To return to the auto
mode, keep pressing this switch until "AUTO" on the display
appears.
Data hold switch
When this switch is pressed, the data display at that time
continues ("DH" lights on the display). When the measuring input
changes, the display will not change.

WARNING
Do not change over the function switch with a voltage applied
to the measuring terminals.
Auto power off, Auto powersave
This device incorporates auto-power-off function that turns off
the display in about 30 minutes to save battery draining. There is
a little battery draining even if the auto power save function is
activated, therefore be sure to return the Power/Function knob to
OFF after measurement. Press the data hold switch before the
auto-power-save function is activated to use the devise
continuously. To deactivate the auto-power-save function, turn
the meter ON while pressing the SELECT button.

5-2 Voltage Measurement Maximum rating input value 1000VDC or 750VAC
WARNING
1. Never apply an input signals exceeding the maximum rating
input value.
2. Be sure to disconnect the test pins from the circuit when
changing the function.
3. Always keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probe
when making measurements.
1) Applications
DCV : Measures batteries and DC circuits.
ACV : Measures sine-wave AC voltage as lighting voltages.
2) Measuring ranges
DCV : 400mV 1000V (5 ranges)
ACV : 4V 750V (4 ranges)
3) Measurement procedure (See Fig 5 or 6, page 9)
Connect the black plug of the test lead to the COM input
terminal and the red plug to the input terminal.
Set the function switch at "V / " function.
Select the select switch at " " (DC) or " " (AC).
Apply the black test pin to the negative potential side of the circuit
to measure and the red test pin to the positive potential side.
Read the value on the display.
After measurement, remove the red and black test pins from
the circuit measured.
Turn the function switch to the position of OFF.
In the AC4V range, a figure of about 3~9 counts will stay on even
if no input signal is present. But it is not malfunction.
In the manual mode of the ACV function, the CD731a can be set
to the 400mV range and shows an approximate value. But its
accuracy is not guaranteed.
Since this instrument employs the means value system for its
AC voltage measurement circuit, AC waveform other than sine
wave may cause error.
5-3 Resistance Measurement ()
WARNING
Never apply voltage to the input terminals.
1) Application
Resistance of resistors and circuits are measured.
2) Measuring ranges
400 40M (6 ranges)
3) Measurement procedure (See Fig 7, page 10)
Connect the black plug of the test lead to the COM input
terminal and the red plug to the input terminal.
Set the function switch at "/ / " function.
Select the select switch at "" (M).
Apply the black and red test pin to measured circuit.
Read the value on the display.
After measurement, remove the red and black test pins from the
circuit measured.
Turn the function switch to the position of OFF.
If measurement is likely to be influenced by noise, shield the object
to measure with negative potential (test lead black).
If a test pin is touched by a finger during measurement, measurement
will be influenced by the resistance in the human body to result in
measurement error.
The input terminals release voltage is about 0.4V.
5-4 Testing Diode ( )
WARNING
Never apply voltage to the input terminals.
1) Application
The quality of diodes is tested.
2) Measurement procedure (See Fig 8, page 11)
Connect the black plug of the test lead to the COM input
terminal and the red plug to the input terminal.
Set the function switch at "/ / " function.
Select the select switch at " ".
Apply the black test pin to the cathode of the diode and the red
test pin to the anode.
Make sure that the display shows a diode forward voltage drop.
Replace the red and black test pins, make sure that the display
is the same as that when the test leads are released.
After measurement, release the red and black test pins from the
object measured.
Turn the function switch to the position of OFF.
Judgement
When the items and are normal, the diode is good.
The input terminals release voltage is about 1.1 1.5V.
5-5 Checking Continuity ( )
WARNING
Never apply voltage to the input terminals.
1) Application
Checking the continuity of wiring and selecting wires.
2) Measurement procedure (See Fig 9, page 12)
Connect the black plug of the test lead to the COM input
terminal and the red plug to the input terminal.
Set the function switch at "/ / " function.
Select the select switch at " " .
Apply the red and black test pins to a circuit or conductor to
measure.
The continuity can be judged by whether the buzzer sounds or
not.
After measurement, release the red and black test pins from the
object measured.
Turn the function switch to the position of OFF.
The buzzer sounds when the resistance in a circuit to measure is
less than about 10 120.
Even if the buzzer does not sound, a resistance value up to 10
120 will be displayed.
The input terminals release voltage is about 0.4V.
When a resistance value is in a range of 20 and 40, noise will
be mixed in the buzzer sound. But it is not malfunction.
5-6 Capacity Measurement ( )
WARNING
1. Never apply voltage to the input terminals.
2. Be sure to discharge the capacitor prior to measurement.
1) Application
Measures capacitance of capacity.
2) Measuring ranges
40nF* 100 F (5 ranges) 1000nF 1 F
3) Measurement procedure (See Fig 10, page 13)
Connect the black plug of the test lead to the COM input
terminal and the red test lead to the input terminal.
Set the function switch at " " function.
Press the select switch to make the display show 00.00nF.
(The "REL" mark illuminates in the upper right area of the display.)
Apply the red and black test pins to capacitor.
Read the value on the display.
After measurement, release the red and black test pins from the
object measured.
Turn the function switch to the position of OFF.
The " " function can be set to the auto range, but not to the
manual range.
In 4nF and 40nF ranges, large value is left, especially when
disconnecting measuring terminals. This is not malfuction.
For measurement of 100nF (0.1 F) or below, the display will not
stabilize due to the influence of ambient noise and floating
capacity. It is therefore recommended that an object to measure
(capacitor) be directly connected between the ( ) and ( )
measuring terminals of the CD731a.
As the capacitance increases, the measuring time becomes longer.
Example: 2 to 4 seconds at 10 F 5 to 8 seconds at 50 F
Example: 13 to 16 seconds at 100 F
5-7 Current Measurement ( A, mA, A)
WARNING
1. Never apply voltage to the input terminals.
2. Be sure to make a series connection via load.
(please see to above drawing)
3. Do not apply an input exceeding the maximum rated current
to the input terminals.
