RESISTANCE

 

MEASUREMENTS

 

WARNING

:

 

To

 

avoid

 

electric

 

shock,

 

disconnect

 

power

 

to

 

the

 

unit

 

under

 

test

 

and

 

discharge

 

all

 

capacitors

 

before

 

taking

 

any

 

resistance

 

measurements.

 

NOTES:

 

‘OL’

 

indicates

 

an

 

over

range

 

condition

 

in

 

manual

 

mode.

 

A

 

higher

 

range

 

should

 

then

 

be

 

selected.

 

If

 

the

 

resistance

 

measured

 

is

 

greater

 

than

 

1M

,

 

the

 

meter

 

may

 

take

 

a

 

few

 

seconds

 

to

 

obtain

 

a

 

stable

 

reading.

 

This

 

is

 

normal

 

for

 

high

 

resistance

 

measurements.

 

When

 

the

 

leads

 

are

 

not

 

connected

 

or

 

when

 

measuring

 

an

 

open

 

circuit,

 

the

 

display

 

will

 

read

 

‘OL’.

 

 

1.

 

Use

 

the

 

probe

 

cover

 

if

 

making

 

measurements

 

on

 

category

 

III

 

or

 

above

 

installations

  

2.

 

Set

 

the

3.

 

Use

 

the

 

Mode

 

(M)

 

button

 

to

 

select

 

the

(

).

 

4.

 

Insert

 

the

 

black

 

test

 

lead

 

banana

 

plug

 

into

 

the

 

negative

 

jack

 

at

 

the

 

bottom

 

of

 

the

 

meter.

 

5.

 

Touch

 

the

 

test

 

probe

 

tips

 

across

 

the

 

circuit

 

or

 

part

 

under

 

test.

 

It

 

is

 

best

 

to

 

disconnect

 

one

 

side

 

of

 

the

 

part

 

under

 

test

 

from

 

the

 

circuit

 

so

 

the

 

rest

 

of

 

the

 

circuit

 

will

 

not

 

interfere

 

with

 

the

 

resistance

 

reading.

 

6.

 

Read

 

the

 

resistance

 

on

 

the

 

display.

 

The

 

meter

 

automatically

 

selects

 

the

 

optimum

 

range

 

or

 

the

 

user

 

may

 

manually

 

select

 

a

 

range

 

by

 

pressing

 

the

 

Range

 

(R)

 

button.

 

Press

 

and

 

hold

 

the

WARNING

:

 

Risk

 

of

 

electric

 

shock.

 

Ensure

 

that

 

all

 

power

 

to

 

the

 

circuit

 

is

 

off

 

and

 

capacitors

 

have

 

fully

 

discharged

 

before

 

measuring

 

continuity.

 

NOTE:

 

If

 

the

 

resistance

 

measured

 

is

 

greater

 

than

 

200 ,

 

the

 

test

 

leads

 

are

 

not

 

connected,

 

or

 

when

 

measuring

 

an

 

open

 

circuit,

 

the

 

display

 

will

 

read

 

‘OL’.

probe

 

tips

 

to

 

the

6.

 

If

 

the

is

 

less

 

than

 

approximately

 

50

,

 

the
