Operation

AC and DC Current Measurements cont.

7. Touch the test probe tips in series with the circuit being tested.

    For DC measurements, touch the red test probe to the positive side of

    the circuit and the black test probe to the negative side of the circuit.
8. Apply power to the circuit.
9. Read the current on the LCD display. 

Resistance Measurements

 

               

Never test resistance on a live circuit.

WARNING:

 

1. Set the rotary function switch to the

 Ω

            position. 

2. Press the 

MODE

 button until “

M

Ω

    appears on the LCD display.
3. Insert the black test lead into the negative

   

 COM

 input jack Insert the red test lead into

    the positive 

Ω

 input jack.

4. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or

    component under test. It is best to disconnect one

    side of the device under test so the rest of the circuit

    will not interfere with the resistance reading.
5. Read the resistance on the LCD display.

Continuity Test

 

               

Never test continuity on a live circuit.

WARNING:

 

1. Set the rotary function switch to the

    

Ω

           position.

2. Press the 

MODE

 button until the “    ” symbol

    appears on the LCD display. 
3. Insert the black test lead into the

    negative 

COM

 input jack. Insert the red

    test lead into the positive 

Ω

 input jack.

4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or

    wire you wish to check. 
5. If the resistance is approximately 30

Ω

 or less,

    an audible tone will sound. If the circuit is above 400

Ω

,

    the LCD display will indicate “

Diode Test

  

 Never test diodes in a live circuit. 

WARNINGS:

 

1. Turn the rotary function switch to

4. Touch the test probes to the diode under test.

    Forward voltage will indicate 0.4 to 0.7V.

    Reverse voltage will indicate “

    the positive CAP input jack.
3. Touch the test leads to the capacitor being tested.
4. Read the capacitance value on the LCD display.

    The meter will automatically adjust the ranges

    between nF, µF, and mF. It may take up to a

    minute to get a stable reading on large capacitors. 
5. If the symbol dISC appears on the LCD display,

    discontinue test and safely discharge capacitor

    before retesting.
