RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS

 

WARNING:

 To avoid electric shock, disconnect all power to the 

unit under test, remove the batteries, unplug the line cords and 
discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance 
measurements. 

1. 

Set the function switch to the 

      

•)))

 

CAP

 position.  

2. 

Insert the black test lead banana plug 
into the negative (COM) jack and the 
red test lead banana plug into the 
positive (V/



Temp) jack 

3.  Touch the test probe tips across the 

circuit or part under test. It is best to 
disconnect one side of the part under 
test so the rest of the circuit will not 
interfere with the resistance reading 

4.  Read the resistance in the display 

 
CONTINUITY CHECK 

WARNING: 

To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity 

on circuits or wires that have voltage on them. 

1.  Set the function switch to the

CAP

 position. 

2.  Push the mode button to indicate 

•))) 

on the display. 

3.  Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack 

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (V

) jack. 

4.  Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or wire you wish to 

check.  

5.  If the resistance is less than approximately 150

, the audible 

signal will sound. If the circuit is open, the display will indicate 
“OL.”.
