[ARC5] Schematic/specifications, etc on French Multimeter??

[Sandyb]

Hello all,

I am looking for whatever information I can gather on a French pocket size multimeter.

“Metrix” model 460, Serial number 114105.
AC/DC ranges: 3 volts F/S thru 750 volts F/S at 10,000 Ohms per volt.
AC/DC Ma. ranges from 150 ua. to 1.5 amps F/S.
Ohms: 0-20K F/S and 0-20M ohms in 2 ranges.
plus a db scale (no impedance specified on meter face.

A very neat and found very accurate meter  although the ranging factors make the scales rather confusing until you figure the “volts per division” and division or multiplication factor for the 0-150 full scale calibration
The actual voltage ranges are: 3, 7.5,30, 75, 150, 300, 750, current ranges are 150 ua.,1.5 ma., 75, 150 ma and 1.5 amp.

It uses the “Banana jack” range switching rather than a rotary switch.  There is a rotary switch that is a function selector between AC/DC voltage and current ranges and ohmmeter function.  (5 positions.) Plus a “zero ohms” pot.  Uses 2 “AA” pencells for the ohmmeter.  I have NO IDEA of the vintage! I am guessing 1950’s maybe?

I have had it for years and want to see if someone has any information on it at all.  A “manual” even if in French! Schematic, a flyer or whatever.

73 to all,
