* Discharge capacitor before measurement. Discharge a large capacitor through an appropriate resistive load.
** Tone indicates continuity. The threshold is between 20
Ω
and 200
Ω
.
*** For precise resistance measurements, begin in the autoranging mode and press RANGE twice. When the
meter displays “Shrt”, short the test leads together until the meter reads “0”. The meter will now compensate
for the resistance of the test leads and the internal protection circuitry, allowing very precise resistance
measurements. Changing ranges, functions, or going back to autoranging mode will reset the meter.
Operation
1.
See the Settings Table. Set the selector to the proper setting, press SELECT (when
instructed to do so), and connect the test leads to the meter.
