Ω

terminals respectively.

3

3.. Connect the test leads to the circuit being measured and read the displayed value.
4

4.. In order to ensure a more accurate measurement of low resistance, short 

the test leads before testing. This is necessary to subtract for the resistance of 
the test leads.

, the meter may take a few seconds

to stabilise reading. This is normal for high resistance measuring.
When the input is not connected, i.e. at open circuit, the figure ‘O

OL

L’ will be

displayed for the overrange condition.
