1. What are the three resistance ranges available on the Simpson meter? 2. When changing resistance ranges on the Simpson meter, the meter must be zeroed using the Zero Ohm's Adjust knob. What is/are the reason(s) for this step? 3. Where is "00" on the meter scale - on the left or right end? a. Left b. Right 4. Is the Simpson meter more accurate at the left or right end of the OHMS scale? a. Left b. Right c. The meter has the same accuracy across the entire OHMS scale 5. A meter is set to the "Rx100" setting and the needle is pointing to "200" on the OHMS scale. The technician changes to the Rx10,000 setting and the pointer settles over "1.8". Which is the more accurate reading? a. The Rx100 reading b. The Rx10,000 reading c. Either is fine. Neither one is more accurate than the other.
