• The measuring range is exceeded or the circuit interrupted if the display shows "OL" (for
overload).
• After measurement, remove the test leads from the test object and turn off the digital clamp
multimeter.
g) Diode test
Make sure that the circuit components, circuits and components to be
measured or any other measuring objects are voltage-free and discharged.
• Turn on the product and select measuring function Ω . Press the SELECT
key (4) until the LCD shows the symbol for diode test (K). Pressing the key again will
switch to the next measuring function, etc.
• Insert the red test lead into the V test socket (8) and the black test lead into the COM test
socket (7).
• Check the test leads for continuity by connecting the test prods to one another. The device
should then register a value of approx. 0.000 V.
• Connect the test prods to the measuring object (diode).
• The LCD shows the forward voltage in volt (V). If the display shows < OL >, the diode is
measured in reverse direction (UR) or the diode is defective (interrupted). For checking
purposes, conduct a measurement on the opposing poles.
• After measurement, remove the test leads from the test object and turn off the digital clamp
multimeter.
h) Capacitance measurement
Make sure that the circuit components, circuits and components to be
measured or any other measuring objects are voltage-free and discharged.
In the case of electrolytic capacitors, observe correct polarity.
• Turn on the product and select measuring function Ω . Press the SELECT
key (4) until the LC display shows < n > and < F >. Pressing the key again will switch to the
next measuring function, etc.
• Insert the red test lead into the V test socket (8) and the black test lead into the COM test
socket (7).
Due to the high sensitivity of the test input, you may encounter a low display value in the
case of "open" test leads.
