working in diode test mode.
b) If diode is open or connected by reverse the display will
show “1”.
c) In a circuit, a good diode should still produce a forward
voltage drop reading of 0.5V to 0.8V; however, the
reverse voltage drop reading can vary depending on the
resistance of other pathways between the probe tips.
d) When the measurement has been completed,
disconnect the connection between the testing leads
and the circuit under test and remove testing leads from
the input terminals.
Continuity Test
Warning
To avoid damages to the Meter or to the devices
under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge
all the high-voltage capacitors before doing
continuity test in circuit.
To do continuity test, connect the Meter as follows:
·
Set the rotary switch to
range
.
·
Connect the RED test lead into “V
Ω
mA” input terminal and
BLACK test lead into “COM” input terminal.
·
Connect the test leads across with the object being tested.
·
Read the value from the display.
·
The buzzer sounds if the resistance of a circuit under test is
less than or equal to
50
Ω
. The buzzer may or may not
sounds if the resistance of a circuit under test is between
