Resistance
Figure 4
With the tool in resistance mode, contact the probe tip to a circuit,
then the LCD display will read the resistance between the tip and
auxiliary ground lead (Figure 5).
600Q
Figure 5
Diode
The diode work mode is to test the polarity of a PN junction diode
(Figure 6). Contact the probe and the black alligator clip of the tool to the
two poles of a diode. After getting the result, exchange the position of
probe and the black alligator clip to get the other result. One of the
results will have relatively larger resistance value or infinite value
(reverse conduction), the other one will have smaller resistance value
(forward conduction). In the measurement result with the smaller
resistance value, the probe is contacting the anode and the ground lead is
contacting the cathode. If the resistance value in both measurements is
shown as "O.OQ", it means the diode is broken or damaged.
