1) Insert the testleads as showing in the above figure;
2) Turn the rotary switch to the
range;
3) Press
twice to switch to continuity mode;
4) Connect the testleads across with the object being measured;
5) The measured value shows on the display.
G. DIODE TEST
Warning
• To avoid electric shock, do not test on circuits or devices with 60V
DC or 30V rms AC.
• Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, and other
semiconductor devices. The diode test sends a current through the
semicondutor junction, then measure the voltage drop across the
junction. A good silicon junction drops between 0.5V and 0.8V.
