The meter is supplied complete with a pair of special rubber-covered leads which are intended for attachment to the AvoMeter by means of its non-loss terminals. The remote ends of the leads are fitted with spring clips, which may be interchanged with either the push-on type prod or the “ AVO ” Long Reach Safety Clip, both of which are located upon the battery box cover of the instrument. The “ AVO ” Long Reach Safety Clip has been introduced to enable connections for test purposes to be made at what are normally inaccessible points on a chassis. Examination of the safety clip will show that it is completely insulated with the exception of the jaws at one end, which can be opened by compressing the stem into the body of the clip. Rigid connections to wiring can thus be made by this insulated device in complicated wiring systems where other types of larger clip could not be attached, or if fixed might cause short circuits. All tests, except those on the 2,500V. ranges, make use of the pair of terminals at the base of the instrument. The meter is extremely simple to use, range selection in general being accomplished by means of two switch knobs. A clearly marked 5" scale has uniformly divided graduations to match 100 and 250 scale markings, and in addition there is an ohms scale and one for decibels. An anti-parallax mirror permits readings of the knife edge pointer to be made with great precision.
