5.6. DIODE
TEST
CAUTION
Before attempting any resistance measurement, cut off power supply from
the circuit to be measured and make sure that all capacitors are discharged,
if present.

.
4. Position the leads at the ends of the diode to be tested (see Fig. 28), respecting the
indicated polarity. The value of directly polarized threshold voltage is shown on the
display.
5. If threshold value is equal to 0mV, the P-N junction of the diode is short-circuited.
6. If the display shows message
“
OL
”
, the terminals of the diode are reversed with respect
to the indication given in Fig. 28 or the P-N junction of the diode is damaged.
7. To use the HOLD and RANGE functions, see § 4.2
8. To use the internal functions, see § 4.3
9. To save the measured result, see § 4.3.4
