causes invalid readings.
3. To toggle between the ohms / continuity / diode
modes. press Mode Switch.
4. Touch probes to the diode. A forward-voltage
drop is about 0.6V ( typical for a silicon diode ).
5. Reverse probes. If the diode is good, "OL"
is displayed. If the diode is shorted, a value
near 0mV will be displayed.
6. If the diode is open, "OL" is displayed in
both directions.
7. Audible Indication: Less than 0.03V.
Capacitance Measurements
1. Set the Function to "
" position.
2. Touch the probes to the capacitor. Observe
polarity when measuring polarized capacitors.
3. Read the capacitance directly from the display.
4. Discharge the capacitor before taking
capacitance measurements.
5. When the capacitor to be tested is
connected, if "DIS.C" symbol indicates on
LCD, it means there is voltage existing in
the tested capacitor and need to be
discharged before testing.
6. On the 3nF and 30nF ranges, before
making measurements, note the value on
the display, which is the residual
capacitance of test leads. Subtract the
residual value from the reading to obtain the
correct value of the capacitance
measurement.
