How it is used
Higher-level electrical practicals demand closer readings than a basic classroom meter provides. The Portable Meter answers this with a long 144 mm scale, which spreads the divisions out, and a knife-edge pointer read against an anti-parallax mirror: the observer moves until the pointer hides its own reflection, so the eye is exactly above the pointer. Combined with the ±1% F.S.D. rating, this suits bench measurements where accuracy matters.
- Place the meter flat on the bench in its wooden box.
- Check that the pointer rests on zero before connecting.
- Connect it into the circuit for the quantity being measured, observing polarity.
- Read the scale with the pointer covering its reflection in the mirror.
The wooden box protects the movement when the meter is carried between benches and laboratories, which is why this style is common in polytechnic and engineering college measurement labs.
