RESISTANCE measurements
①
Insert the black test lead into the negative jack(COM) and the red test lead
into the positive jack.
②
Press OHMMETER key. Select " RESISTANCE" with key.
③
Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or part under test.
It is bets 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. The display will indicate the proper
decimal point, value and symbols.
WARNING.
To avoid electric shock while taking any resistance measurements,
disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors, remove
the batteries and unplug the line cords.

DIODE test
①
1. Insert the black test lead into the negative jack(COM) and the red test lead
into the positive diode symbol jack.
②
Press OHMMETER key. Select “Diode Test” by key.
③
Touch the test probe tips to the diode or semiconductor junction you wish to
test, note the meter reading
④
Reverse the probes polarity by switching probe position. Note this reading.
⑤
The diode or junction can be evaluated as follows:
- If one reading shows a voltage value(approximately 0.25V for germanium
and 0.7V for silicon) and the other reading shows “OVER” the diode is
good.
-If both reading show “OVER”, the device is open.
-If both reading are very small or 0, the device is shorted.
WARNING.
To avoid electric shock, do not test any diode that has voltage on it.
NOTE.
The value indicated in the display during the diode check is the forward voltage.
