semiconductor junction you wish to test. It is best to
disconnect one side of the part under test so the rest
of the circuit will not interfere with the readings.
5) Reverse the probe polarity by switching probe
positions. Note both readings.
6) The diode or junction can be evaluated as follows:
A. If one reading shows a value and the other
reading shows OL, the diode is good.
B. If both readings show OL, the device is open.
C. If both readings are very small or zero, the
device is shorted.
NOTE: The value indicated on the display during the
diode test is the forward voltage of the device.
CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENT
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, discharge the
capacitor under test before making measurements.
1) Set the function switch to the CAP capacitance
position. Press the MODE button until "nF" appears
on the display.
2) Insert the black test lead into the negative COM jack
and the red test lead into the positive CAP jack.
