1. To measure resistance, turn on the meter, then set up the meter
as shown in Figure 10.
2. Insert the black test lead into the
COM
terminal and the red test
lead into the terminal.
3. Set the Function Rotary Switch to the position (then,
“AUTO” “OL” and “M
Ω
” symbols are indicated on the display).
4. Connect the test leads to both ends of the resistance under test,
then the measured value is shown on the display.
Keep the following in mind when measuring resistance:
• Because the meter’s test current flows through all possible paths
between the probe tips, the measured value of a resistor in a
circuit is often different from the resistor’s rated value.
• The test leads can add 0.1
Ω
to 0.2
Ω
of error to resistance
measurements. To test the leads, touch the probe tips together
and read the resistance of the leads. If necessary, you can press
the
REL
∆∆
button to automatically subtract its value.
