Measuring diode

Operation (continued)

CAUTION: To avoid the meter or measured 
equipment from being damaged, cut off all 
power supply of measured circuits and 

discharge all high voltage capacitors 
before measuring diode.

□ 

Turn the rotary switch to the  

position (1).

□ 

Press the FUNC key (2) and select the  

measuring range.

□ 

Separately connect the black and read 

test leads to the negative pole and 

positive pole of the measured diode.

□ 

The meter displays the forward bias value 

of the measured diode. If the poles of the 

test leads are connected inversely, the 

meter will display “OL”.

For on-line measuring diode, the 
meter displays the forward voltage 
drop at forward measurement; the 
reverse

measurement depends on 

the values of other elements 
connected in parallel at both ends 
of diode.

Measuring continuity

4

CAUTION: To avoid the meter or measured 
equipment from being damaged, cut off all 

power supply of measured circuits and 

discharge all high voltage capacitors before 

continuity measurement.

□

 Turn the rotary switch to the  

position (1).

□

 Press the FUNC key (2) and select the  

 measuring range.

□

 Separately connect the two ends of the 

 test leads to the end ends of the 

 measured

part and circuit.

□

 The meter displays the approximate 

 resistance value between measured 

 points. Here if the resistance value 

between measured points is less than 

50±20 Ω, the buzzer will make a sound.
