Resistance Measurement

  

1. Connect the black test lead to the COM jack. 
2. Set the Function Switch to the 

 position. 

3. Connect the positive test probe and the black test 

across the resistance to be measured. 

Note: 1) The polarity of the positive test probe is “+”. 

2) When checking in-circuit resistance, be sure all 

power is removed from the circuit under test and 
all capacitors are fully discharged. 

Continuity Test

  

1. Connect the black test lead to the COM jack. 
2. Set the Function Switch to the      /      position  and 

select          with button 3.  

3. Connect the positive test probe and the black test lead 

to the circuit. If the resistance is less than 
approximately 20

 the buzzer will sound. 

Note: The polarity of the positive test probe is “+” 

Diode Test

  

1. Connect the black test lead to the COM jack. 

2. Set the Function Switch to the      /       position and 

select      with Button(3) 

3. Connect the positive test probe and the black test lead 

across the diode under test. If the positive test probe is 
placed on the anode of the diode, the display will 
indicate the approximate forward voltage drop of the 
diode. 

Logic Test

  

1. Connect the black test lead to the COM jack. 
2. Set the Function Switch to the L position 
3. Connect the black test lead to the common terminal of 

the circuit to be tested Connect the test probe to the 
point to be tested.  
a) If the measured voltage is below the low reference 

threshold the GREEN led will light, indicating a logic 
“0”.  

b) If the measured voltage is above the high reference 

threshold the RED led will light, indicating a logic “1”. 

c) If the measured voltage is between the reference 

thresholds, neither led will light.
