Diode Check:
To ensure a proper functioning diode, the meter will develop a
voltage across the component from a test current. The diode
test function allows measurements of forward voltage drops
across diode and transistor junctions.
1. Turn off power to the device or circuit that is being tested
and discharge all capacitors.
2. Plug the black test lead into the COM port and the red test
lead into the °C°F V
Ω
Hz port.
3. Set the rotary switch to the
Ω
position.
4. Press the blue button until is shown on the display
5. Connect the test leads to the diode. Normally the forward
voltage drop of a good silicone diode is shown between
400V and 90V. If the diode under test is defective, “000”
(short circuit) or “OL” (non-conductive) is displayed.

To Measure Capacitance:
1. Plug the black test lead into the COM port and the red test
lead into the °C°F V
Ω
Hz port.
2. Set the rotary switch to the position.
3. Connect the test leads to the circuit to be measured.
4. Measure capacitance.
