Diode Testing and Continuity Measurement

10.1 Diode Testing

Attention!

!

Verify that the device under test is electrially dead. Ex-
ternal voltages would falsify the measurement results!

Set the function selector switch to „

“. 

Connect the device under test as shown.

Conducting Direction and Short-Circuit

The measuring instrument displays the forward voltage in volts. 
As long as the voltage drop does not exceed the maximum 
display value of 1.000 V you can test several elements con-
nected in series.

Reverse Direction or Interruption

The measuring instrument displays a voltage of „

OL

“.

Note!

Resistors and semiconductor paths in parallel to the 
diode distort the measurement results!
