7.6 Resistance measurement
CAUTION! Make sure that all circuit components, circuits and parts to
be measured are disconnected and discharged. Otherwise the multimeter
could get damaged.
•
Connect the black measurement cable to the COM connection [4] and the
red measurement cable to the OUT INPUT connection [5].
•
Set the range selector switch [3] to the Ω position.
•
Connect the measurement probes [6] to the object to be measured.
•
The measured reading is now shown on the display [1]. If the display [1]
shows “OL”, the measuring probes [6] make no contact with the resistance
to be measured or the resistance is faulty.
For resistances > 1MΩ, the measurement may take a few seconds. In this
case, wait until the reading has stabilised.
For measurements of lower resistances (200 Ω range), the resistance of
the device's own measurement cables can distort the reading. In order to
avoid this, note down the reading for the measurement with the
measurement probes short-circuited, and subtract this from the actual
measurement reading.
