4. CONTINUITY TEST
WARNING:
NEVER CONNECT THE TEST LEADS TO ANY VOLTAGE WHEN
THE FUNCTION SWITCH IS SET TO
/ / /
. REMOVE ALL POWER FROM
THE CIRCUIT BEING TESTED WHEN CHECKING RESISTANCE. DISCHARGE ANY
CHARGED CAPACITORS.
➔
Set the function switch to
/ / / .
➔
Press the Select button until appears on the display.
➔
Apply the test leads to the circuit.
➔
The buzzer will sound if the resistance is less than 30 and the
measured resistance value will be displayed in ohms with proper
decimal point.
5. DIODE TEST
WARNING:
NEVER CONNECT THE TEST LEAD TO ANY VOLTAGE WHEN
THE FUNCTION SWITCH IS SET TO
/ / /
. REMOVE ALL POWER FROM THE
CIRCUIT BEING TESTED WHEN PERFORMING THE DIODE TEST. DISCHARGE ANY
CHARGED CAPACITORS.
Note: If the diode is part of a circuit, it is necessary to disconnect one end
of the diode to avoid any unwanted interference from the rest of the circuit.
The value indicated in the display during the diode check is the forward
bias voltage.
➔
Set the function switch to
/ / / .
➔
Press the Select button until appears on the display.
➔
Apply the test leads across the diode terminals and note the
meter reading.
➔
Reverse the diode and note this reading. Based on the readings
the result can be evaluated as follows:
