MEASURING RESISTANCE

WARNING

• 

Beware of electrocution.

• 

When measuring in-circuit resistance, make sure that the power of the circuit 

under test has been turned off and that all capacitors have been fully discharged.

• 

Plug the black test lead into the 

COM

 jack and the red test 

lead into the 

INPUT

 jack.

• 

Set the rotary selector to the      range position to ensure that 

the meter goes into ‘

Ω

’ range.

• 

Connect the test leads to the ends of the resistor or circuit 

for measurement.

• 

Take the reading on the LCD.

Note: When the input is open, the “OL” will appear on the LCD to 

indicate that the range has been exceeded.

• 

For measuring resistance above 1MΩ, it may take a few 

seconds to get a steady reading. This is normal for high 

resistance reading.

 

TESTING DIODE

• 

Plug the black test lead into the 

COM

 jack and the red test lead into the 

INPUT

 

jack.

• 

Set the rotary selector to the      range position.

• 

Press the “

SEL

” button to switch to      test. 

• 

Connect the red test lead to the anode and the black test lead to the cathode of 

the diode for testing.

• 

Take the reading on the LCD.

Note: The meter will show the approximate forward voltage drop of the diode.

When the test leads have been reversed or opened, “OL” will appear on the LCD.

 

TESTING CONTINUITY

WARNING

• 

Beware of electrocution.

• 

Make sure that the power of the circuit has been turned 

off and the capacitors have been fully discharged before 

testing the continuity of a circuit.

• 

Take the reading on the LCD.

Note: If the duty cycle is less than 10%, the symbol “UL” will be displayed on the LCD. 

If the duty cycle is more than 99.9%, the symbol “OL” will be displayed on the LCD.

• 

The input signal frequency range is 10 - 10kHz. It is possible to test the duty cycle 

of a frequency signal higher than 10kHz, but the tolerance of the test result can’t 

be ensured.

• 

“    ” means the maximum input voltage is 750V rms AC.

• 

Plug the black test lead into the 

COM

 jack and the red test 

lead into the 

INPUT

 jack.

• 

Set the rotary selector to the      range position.

• 

Press the “

SEL

” button to switch to      continuity test.

• 

Connect the test leads to the two ends of the circuit for
