s Make sure both test leads are fully inserted into their respec-
tive input jacks (Black lead into COM and Red lead into
6s/s-). A loose test lead may cause the user to misinter-
pret the dangers present (the meter may read Zero when
dangerous voltage is present) or the loose lead may
accidentally short to other circuitry or shock the user.
s Do not use the meter if either the meter or the test leads are
wet, either from exposure to the weather, or after cleaning
the case of the meter. Doing so may cause injury to the user.
s Avoid usage near strong magnetic fields (magnets,
loudspeakers, transformers, motors, coils, relays,
contactors, electromagnets, etc.). The meter may display
readings that are in error, causing the user to misinterpret
the hazards present. For example, the meter may indicate a
low voltage when high voltages are actually present.
s Avoid usage near strong electrostatic fields (high voltage
power lines, televisions, computer monitors, etc.). The
meter may display readings that are in error, causing the
user to misinterpret the hazards present. For example, the
meter may indicate a low voltage when high voltages are
actually present.
s Avoid usage near strong RF fields (radio or television trans-
mitters, etc.). The meter may display readings that are in
error, causing the user to misinterpret the hazards present.
For example, the meter may indicate a low voltage when
high voltages are actually present.
s Do not touch the tips of the test leads when making a meas-
urement. Do not touch live circuitry when making a
measurement.
s Do not apply more than 1200 volts DC/AC rms sine between
the test leads and the earth ground. Doing so may damage
the meter and/or injure the user.
s)FThere is any doubt about the condition of the meter (i.e.
safe vs unsafe), remove the meter from service and secure
it in a location that will prevent its unintentional use.
5
s Do not use the meter if it does not appear to work correctly
on all ranges and in all modes.
s Do not use the meter if it has undergone long-term storage
under unfavorable conditions.
s Do not use the meter if it may have been damaged in
transport.
s Do not attempt immediate use of the meter when bringing
if from a cold environment to a warm environment.
Condensation of water, inside and outside of the meter, may
produce dangerous measuring conditions. Allow the meter
to warm to room temperature before using.
s Do not use meter in condensing atmospheres. That is, do
not use meter in conditions where ambient temperature and
humidity could cause condensation of water inside of meter.
Doing so may cause injury to the user.
s Use caution when
attempting to evaluate if a dangerous
voltage is present. The meter will not read AC voltage if it is
set to DC. For example, if the meter is set to 300VDC, it will
not measure a dangerous AC voltage, even if the probes are
inserted into a household AC wall outlet.
s$ONOTTOUCHThe metallic portion of one test lead if the
other test lead is connected to a live circuit. The current
from the live circuit may pass through the meter and appear
on the unconnected test lead. Failure to observe this
warning may result in user injury.
sRemove the battery when the meter may be left unused for
longer than 1 month. Chemical leakage from the battery
could damage the meter, leading to user injury.
s Do not use the meter if there is evidence of chemical
leakage from the battery. Leakage could d
amage meter and
lead to injury of user.
s Do not modify the meter. Changing the design may make
the meter unsafe and may result in injury to the user.
6
s Do not mistake a downscale reading as an indication that no
potential is present. Dangerous potentials may be present
that may result in user injury.
sWhen replacing the battery, dispose of the depleted battery
in accordance with any prevailing safety or environmental
regulations.
s!Static charge on the face of the meter may cause the
meter to produce inaccurate readings, which could lead to
user injury. This condition is usually observed in dry
climates, when the face of the meter is rubbed with a cloth.
!pply !NTISTAT solution, or mild detergent, to the face of the
meter to dissipate the static charge.
READ THE MANUAL
Read this Instruction Manual carefully and completely.
Voltages and currents within the capability of this test
equipment can be hazardous. Follow the instructions
in this manual for every measurement. Read and un-
derstand the general instructions before attempting
to use this tester. Do not exceed the limits of the tester.
SAFETY CHECK
Double check the switch setting and lead connections
before making measurements. !RE you following all
of the instructions?
Disconnect the tester or turn off the power before
changing switch positions. Do not connect to circuits
with voltage present when switch is in any ohms or
current position.
When replacing fuses, use only specified type fuses
and insert in correct fuse holder.
7
DO NOT TOUCH
Do not touch exposed wiring, connections or other
“live” parts of an electrical circuit. If in doubt, check
the circuit first for voltage before touching it.
Turn off the power to a circuit before connecting test
probes to it. Be sure there is no voltage present be-
fore you touch the circuit. Do not use cracked or bro-
ken test leads.
HIGH VOLTAGE IS DANGEROUS
Always start with the power off. Be sure there is no
voltage present before making connections to the cir-
cuit.
Don’t touch the tester, its test leads, or any part of the
circuit while it is on.
Before disconnecting the tester, turn the circuit off and
wait for the meter to return to “zero.”
DISTRIBUTION CIRCUITS PACK A PUNCH
In high energy circuits such as distribution transform-
ers and bus bars, dangerous arcs of explosive nature
can occur if the circuit is shorted. If the tester is con-
nected across a high energy circuit when set to a low
resistance range, a current range, or any other low
impedance range, the circuit is virtually shorted.
Special equipment designed for use with these circuits
is available. Contact a qualified person for assistance
before attempting to make measurements on any high
energy circuit.
SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT

INTRODUCTION
The Triplett Model 310 and 310-C are hand-sized VOMs
with all the versatility and performance of larger, more
expensive bench-size models. They offer diode over-
load protection against damage to the meter move-
ments caused by accidental overloads. A fuse is used
to protect the RX1 range. The fuse and batteries can
be easily replaced by removing the back cover.
Small enough to be carried in your tool box, glove com-
partment, brief case, or shirt pocket, the Model 310
features 20,000 ohms per volts DC sensitivity and
5,000 ohms per volt AC. The 310-C features 20,000
ohms per volt DC and 15,000 ohms per volt AC sensi-
tivity.
Additionally, the 310-C incorporates a convenient Po-
larity Reversing Switch which electrically reverses the
test lead connections easily correcting accidental
downscale readings.
Versatility and readability have not been sacrificed in
order to provide a portable VOM. Both models have
18 different ranges that can be easily read on only 3
clearly defined scale areas. A single selector switch
allows you to switch easily from range to range and
function to function.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Control Locations
For a diagram of the Model 310 / 310-C, please refer
to page 14.
Test Leads
Check the test leads periodically. Leads that are worn,
have damaged insulation, damaged plugs, damaged
probes or loose parts should be replaced.
The following section should be read carefully. It con-
tains instructions and precautions to be observed in
making measurements with the tester.
The alligator clips provided with the tester fit over the
end of the test probes. When measuring high volt-
age, these alligator clips allow measurement without
handling the test probes. ALWAYS SHUT OFF THE
POWER source before attempting to connect alligator
clips.
Range Selection
When the approximate value of the quantity being mea-
sured is not known, ALWAYS START ON THE HIGH-
EST RANGE. For greater accuracy, choose the range
which will allow readings to be taken in the upper (right
hand) portion of the scale. See Operation Chart on
page 25.
12
Scale Selection
Readings are taken on the scale having the appropri-
ate significant figures (both 3 and 300 volts are read
on the 0-300 scale) by multiplying or dividing by a
factor of 10 or 100 as indicated by the range/scale
ratio (i.e., on the 3 volt range, divide the scale read-
ings by 100). See Operation Chart on page 25.
Polarity Selection (Model 310-C only)
The Polarity Reversing Switch allows the user to elec-
trically reverse the test lead connections. That is, when
the user mistakenly connects the test leads to a cir-
cuit and obtains a “downscale” reading, the Polarity
Reversing Switch may be operated to obtain an “up-
scale” reading.
Changing Settings
The test probes should be disconnected from the volt-
age source (or the source shut off) before the Range
Switch or Polarity Reversing Switch (310-C only) po-
sition is changed. This practice will result in an in-
creased life and reliability for the tester, as well as es-
tablishing a good safety practice.
Zero Adjustment
The Meter Zero Adjust Screw is located near the cen-
ter of the tester. It should be periodically adjusted so
the meter pointer is on zero with no input into the
tester.
13
Other Considerations
Readings on the sensitive voltage, current and resis-
tance ranges may sometimes be different than calcu-
lated values. Thermo-electric or electro-chemical re-
actions can sometimes generate voltage (and current)
in a circuit due to elevated temperatures for solder-
ing, contact of dissimilar metals, chemical fumes or
moisture. Also, the fingers should never touch the
metal parts of the test probes since body resistance
can cause erroneous readings - particularly on the high
ohmmeter ranges.
Care
Although this instrument is portable and rugged, it
should be treated with care. Do not drop it or handle
it roughly.
Avoid placing it on a bench where machine tools are
used or severe vibration is encountered.
When possible, keep it in a place of moderate tem-
perature. Avoid subjecting it to extreme temperatures
and severe temperature changes.
If the tester has not been used for a long period of
time, rotate the switch in both directions several times
to wipe the switch contacts for good contact.

MAINTENANCE FOR
MODEL 310/310-C
Battery Replacement
If the pointer cannot be adjusted to full scale on the
X1, X10, or X100 OHMS ranges, replace the 1.5V bat-
tery. Replace the 12V battery if the X1K OHMS range
cannot be adjusted for full scale.
1.5V Battery - NEDA 910F or 910M (PN: 37-21)
12V Battery - A23 (PN: 37-60)
Fuse Replacement
If none of the OHMS ranges work, replace the fuse.
Use a 1/16 AMP, 5 mm x 20 mm fuse. (PN: 3207-112)
Cleaning Plastic Window
The plastic window has been treated at the factory to
dissipate static charges. If cleaning is necessary use
cotton dipped in a solution of common household
detergent and water. After cleaning, allow the solu-
tion to dry without rubbing; the resultant detergent
film will effectively dissipate static charges.
CAUTION:
Solven
ts and liquids used in radio and TV shop work
may craze or scar the plastic window if applied to it.
28
Calibration
With normal use, readjustment of this VOM should
not be necessary. An occasional check of the VOM
against a known reference voltage or another VOM is
good practice. If there is a question about the accu-
racy of the VOM, it should be returned to the factory
or an authorized service center for a calibration check.

TRIPLETT THREE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Triplett Instruments warrants instruments and test equipment manufactured by it to be free from
defective material or workmanship and agrees to repair or replace such products which, under normal
use and service, disclose the defect to be the fault of our manufacturing, with no charge within three
years of the date of original purchase for parts and labor. If we are unable to repair or replace the
product, we will make a refund of the purchase price. Consult the Instruction Manual for instructions
regarding the proper use and servicing of instruments and test equipment. Our obligation under this
warranty is limited to repairing, replacing, or making refund on any instrument or test equipment which
proves to be defective within three years from the date of original purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any of our products which have been repaired or altered by unauthorized
persons in any way so as, in our sole judgment, to injure their stability or reliability, or which have been
subject to misuse, abuse, misapplication, negligence, accident or which have had the serial numbers
altered, defaced, or removed. Accessories, including batteries and fuses, not of our manufacture used
with this product are not covered by this warranty.
To register a claim under the provisions of this warranty, contact Triplett Instruments Customer
Service Department for a Return Authorization Number (RMA) and return instructions. No returned
product will be accepted without an RMA number. Upon our inspection of the product, we will advise
you as to the disposition of your claim.
ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW ARE HEREBY LIMITED TO A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS FROM
DATE OF PURCHASE, AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE WARRANTY ARE EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF
ANY OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.
The purchaser agrees to assume all liability for any damages and bodily injury which may result from the
use or misuse of the product by the purchaser, his employees, or others, and the remedies provided for
in this warranty are expressly in lieu of any other liability Triplett Instruments may have, including
incidental or consequential damages.
Some states (USA ONLY) do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. No representative of Triplett Instruments

the sale of its products beyond the terms hereof.
Triplett Instruments reserves the right to discontinue models at any time, or change specifications,
