CONTINUITY CHECK
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity on circuits or wires that
have voltage on them.
1. Set the function switch to the position.
2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative (-) jack (COM) and the red test lead
banana plug into the positive (+) jack ( ).
3. Press the MODE button until the symbol appears in the display.
4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or wire you wish to check.
5. If the resistance is less than approximately 30
Ω
, the audible signal will sound. The
display will also show the actual resistance.
DIODE TEST
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not test any diode that has voltage on it.
1. Set the function switch to position.
4. Press the MODE button until the
symbol appears in the display.
3. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (-) jack (COM) and the red test
lead banana plug into the positive (+) 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 show 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.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect both test probes from
any source of voltage before making a temperature measurement.
1. If you wish to measure temperature in
o
F, set the function switch to the
o
F range. If you
wish to measure temperature in
o
C, set the function switch to the
o
C range.
2 Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack and the red test lead
banana plug into the positive (V) jack, making sure to observe the correct polarity.
9. Touch the Temperature Probe head to the part whose temperature you wish to
measure. Keep the probe touching the part under test until the reading stabilizes (about
30 seconds).
10. Read the temperature in the display. The digital reading will indicate the proper decimal
point and value.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple has
been removed before changing to another measurement function.
