AvoMeter 8 Range

The AVO 8 MK2 has a very useful set of ranges, and both knobs require setting in order to select the desired range. The selector switches are of robust generous design, and the contacts arranged to "make" before "break" on adjacent ranges, to provide a factor of safety.

If you want to measure DC ranges, then the knob on the right is set to the position marked "DC". You then select the desired range on the left knob. If you want to measure resistance, then the knob on the left is set to the position marked "Resistance", and you use the knob on the right to set the resistance range.

As you can see, we Brits love twiddling with knobs, and if we can use both hands simultaneously, then that is even better! :-)
