The resistance ranges are: 200.0 , 2.000k , 20.00k ,
200.0k , 2.000M and 20.00M .

To measure resistance, connect the Meter as follows:
1.   Insert the red test lead into the V        terminal and
      the black test lead into the 

COM

 terminal.

2.   Set the rotary switch to an appropriate measurement
      position in  range.
3.   Connect the test leads across with the object being
      measured.
      The measured value shows on the display.

Note

l

    The test leads can add 0.1  to 0.2  of error to the

       resistance measurement.  To obtain precision readings
       in low-resistance, that is the range of 200  , short-
       circuit the input terminals beforehand and record the
       reading obtained (called this reading as X).  (X) is
       the additional resistance from the test lead.
      Then use the equation:
       measured resistance value (Y) – (X) = precision
       readings of resistance.

l

    When the resistance reading 0.5  in the short-circuit

      condition, please check for loose test leads or other
      reasons.

l

    For high resistance (>1M  ), it is normal taking

      several seconds to obtain a stable reading, and it is
      better to choose shorter test lead.

l

    When there is no input, for example in open circuit

      condition, the Meter displays

 “1”

.

l

    When resistance measurement has been completed,

      disconnect the connection between the testing leads
      and the circuit under test.
