DIODE TEST
1. Set the function switch to the
Ω
CAP
position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative
COM
jack
and the red test lead banana plug into the positive
V
jack.
3. Press the
MODE
button to indicate“ “and “
V
”
display.
4. Touch the test probes to the diode under test.
Forward voltage will typically indicate 0.400 to
0.700V. Reverse voltage will indicate “
OL
”.
Shorted devices will indicate near 0V and an
Open
device will indicate “
OL
” in both
polarities.
CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENTS
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit
under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any
capacitance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the
line cords.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the
Ω CAP
position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative
COM
jack.
3. Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive
V
jack.
4. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested.
