Note:
“OL” will be displayed when the measured diode is open-circuit or polarity is inversely connected.
Before diode measurement, make sure all circuits are powered off and discharge any capacitors for best measurement ac
-
curacy.
The test open-circuit voltage of diode is approximately 3.5V.
Do not input voltage higher than DC 42V or AC 30V, which may cause personal injury.
After completing all measurement operations, disconnect the test leads from the measured circuit.
6. Capacitance measurement
1) Insert red test lead in “ ” jack and black test lead in “COM” jack.
2) Select the “ ” position on the function switch, and connect the test lead in parallel with the capacitor or circuit to be measured.
3) Directly read out the capacitance value of measured circuit from display. It is recommended to carry out capacitance
measurement with the short test leads, thus reducing the impact caused by distributed capacitance.
Note:
If the measured capacitance is short circuited or capacitance exceeds the maximum range of the meter, display will show “OL”.
While in the Capacitance Measurement mode, the simulated analog measurement bar is disabled. It will take a longer amount
of time to obtain measurements if the capacitance is greater than 600µF.
For best measurement accuracy, discharge capacitors before the test, and then connect leads for measurement. Some high
voltage capacitors can cause damage
After completing measurement operation, disconnect the test leads from the measured capacitance.
