Testing Diodes
(see figure 6)
Measurement Operation (4)
(figure 6)
Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, and other
semiconductor devices. The diode test sends a current
through the semiconductor junction, then measures the
voltage drop across the junction. A good silicon junction
drops between 0.5V and 0.8V.
To test a diode out of a circuit, connect the Meter as
follows:
1. Insert the red test lead into the HzV terminal and
the black test lead into the COM terminal.
2. Set the rotary switch to and press BLUE
button to select measurement mode.
3. For forward voltage drop readings on any
semiconductor component, place the red test lead
on the component's anode and place the black test
lead on the component's cathode.
The measured value shows on the display.
Note
l
In a circuit, a good diode should still produce a
forward voltage drop reading of 0.5V to 0.8V;
however, the reverse voltage drop reading can vary
depending on the resistance of other pathways
between the probe tips.
