Warning!
Make sure that the circuit to be tested is not conducting any current before testing
diodes. Take extreme care when using this instrument on an inductive component
such as a transformer, relay coils and the like, and make sure they have been dis-
charged beforehand. High voltage may be induced at the measuring points if an open
circuit occurs.
Note:
A good diode should have a forward voltage drop of from 0.5 to 0.8 V. However,
the reverse voltage drop reading can vary considerably depending on the resistance to
other paths of conductance between the tips of the test leads.
Continuity measurement
1. Set the multifunction selector to
to switch on the multimeter. , “OL” and
“Ω” will be shown on the display.
2. Press [ SELECT ] twice to select continuity
measurement.
3. Connect the ends of the test leads to
the ends of the cables to be tested.
-
No break in the lead: The buzzer
sounds continuously when the resis-
tance is <60 Ω.
-
Break in the lead: The buzzer does
not sound.
4. Set the multifunction selector to
OFF
to
switch off the multimeter.
Warning!
Make sure that the circuit to be tested is not conducting any current before testing
for continuity.
Take extreme care when using this instrument on an inductive component such as
a transformer, relay coils and the like, and make sure they have been discharged
beforehand. High voltage may be induced at the measuring points if an open circuit
occurs.
To avoid shocks you need to be CAREFUL when you work with voltage higher then
60 VDC or 30 VAC RMS. Voltages higher than this pose a risk of heavy electric shocks.
Note:
The open-circuit voltage is around 0.45 V.
Sleep mode (automatic shut-off)
To preserve battery life, the meter has an auto shut-off feature. If the function selector
is not turned within 30 minutes, the meter turns itself off automatically.
Switch on the multimeter by rotating the function selector or pressing one of
the buttons.
