4. Taking Measurements
Important Notice!
Do not perform continuity tests on voltage-carrying components or
circuits.
Measuring Procedure
1. Make sure the component or circuit you intend to measure is
voltage free.
2. Now set the rotary switch (4) to the
position and set the
measuring cables (red
Æ
V/
Ω
/F/°C/
-Input; black
Æ
COM-Input)
onto the component or circuit.
3. An acoustic signal sounds if the resistance is lower than 30
Ω
,
confirming that the component or the circuit has passed the conti-
nuity test.
4.6 Diode Test Function
This function enables you to test diodes and other semiconductors for
continuity, blocking function or correct function.
Important!
When using the unit for diode testing, never connect the measure-
ment cables to a power source. This may damage the device.
Do not perform measurements on voltage-carrying components or
circuits and always make sure that capacitors are fully discharged
before performing the measurement.
Measuring Procedure
1. Make sure the component or circuitry to be measured is voltage-
free.
2. Connect the red measurement cable to the V/
Ω
/F/°C/
-Input (9)
and the black measurement cable to the COM-Input (8).
3. Set the rotary switch (4) to the position
.
4. Connect the measurement cables to the component to be
measured and read the result on the LC display.
