RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS

1) Connect the black test lead to the “COM” terminal.
2) Connect the red test lead to the “V

Ω

MA” terminal.

3) Set the range switch to the desired “

Ω

” position.

4) If the resistance being measured is connected to a circuit, turn off the power to the circuit being tested and

discharge all of the capacitors.

5) Connect the leads across the resistor to be measured and read the display.

When measuring high

resistance, be sure not to contact adjacent points even if insulated. Some insulators have relatively low
resistance and will cause the measured resistance to be lower than the actual resistance.

DIODE CHECK

1) Connect the black test lead to the “COM” terminal.
2) Connect the red test lead to the “V

Ω

MA” terminal.

3) If the diode being measured is connected to a circuit, turn off all power to the circuit and discharge all

capacitors.

4) Set the range switch to “       ”.

Forward Voltage Check
5) Connect the red lead to the anode and the black lead to the cathode of the diode. Normally the forward

voltage drop of a good silicon diode reads between 450 and 900mV.

Reverse Voltage Check
6) Reverse the leads to the diode. If the diode is good, an overrange indication is given (a 1 in the most

significant digit and blanks in the remaining digits). If the diode is bad, “000” or some other value is
displayed.

h

FE

MEASUREMENTS

1) Set the range switch to h

FE

and insert the test transistor into the appropriate NPN or PNP

holes in the transistor socket.

2) Read the h

FE

of the transistor.

BATTERY & FUSE REPLACEMENT

If “     ” appears on the display, it indicates that the battery should be replaced.
To replace battery and fuse (250mA/250V), remove the 2 screws in the bottom of the case.
Simply remove the old fuse/battery and replace with a new fuse/battery.
