1. Set the function switch to "
Ω
/
/CAP" position.
2. Press the MODE button until the "
" symbol appears in the
display.
3. Insert the black test lead into the negative
COM
jack and the red
test lead banana plug into the positive
V/
/CAP/Hz%/Temp
jack.
4. Touch the test probe tips to the diode or semiconductor junction
you wish to test. Note the meter reading.
5. Reverse the probe polarity by switching probe position. Note this
reading.
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 are OL, the device is open.
C:
If both readings are very small or 0, the device is shorted.
Note:
The value indicated in the display during the diode check is
the forward voltage.
