Hi there,

 

I've got the TENMA  72-1040572-10405 and I was wondering if a transistor hfe measurement is possible The manual is not helping here however the display during power on is showing a hfe entry which is also mentioned in the manual(display symbols 9 hfe Transistor testing indicator It discribes in the manual"The meter can measure AC7DC voltage and Current Resistance Diode Continuity Buzzer Capacitance Frequency temperature(C or F hFE amd EF Function without going further into detail Also the multi purpose socket is prepared to take NPN or PNP transistors but I have no clue how to get started Any help

 

Thanks!

    Boris,

     

    The manual that I see online at Element 14 does not show a hfe measurement mode, or a socket for the transistor.  Are you sure that you have the right manual? Or the right model number?

    Hi Gene,

     

    this is the manual             Operating Instructions EN     on page 4 (overview they mention the hFe)... The socket is within the delivery, an accessory you can plug-in.

    Boris,

     

    I can clearly see why you are confused.  The manual mentions hFE testing and the adapter appears to have sockets for transistors, but the manual does not cover how to test transistors.  Other multi-meters that I have used have a knob position that clearly says hFE, where this one does not.  I did some web searching and I could not find anything that described using this meter to measure transistors.  I am not sure that I can help you any further.  Hopefully someone else on this site has either used this meter or know that it will not work to measure hFE.

     

    Sorry that I could not help you.

    Gene
