4. Touch the test probe tips to the diode or semiconductor
unction you wish to test. Note the meter reading.
5. Reverse the probe polarity by switching probe position. Note
this reading.
6. The diode or junction can be evaluated as follows:
A: If one reading shows a value and the other reading
shows OL, the diode is good.
B:
If both readings are OL, the device is open.
C: If both readings are very small or 0, the device is
shorted.
Note:
The value indicated in the display during the diode check
is the forward voltage.
5.13. Continuity check
Warning:
To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity on circuits or
wires that have voltage on them.
1. Set the function switch to the "
.)))
/ " position.
2. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM jack and the
red test lead into the positive V/
Ω
jack.
3. Press the "SELECT" push button until the "
.)))
"
symbol
appears in the display.
4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or wire you wish to
check.
