Adjacent current-carrying devices such as transformers, motors
and conductor wires will affect measurement accuracy. Keep the
jaws away from them as much as possible to minimize influence.

Capacitance & Diode functions
Inputs are made through the test lead terminals. Defaults at
Capacitance. Press

button momentarily and release to
select Diode.
When using Diode test function, normal forward voltage drop
(forward biased) for a good silicon diode is between 0.400V to
0.900V. A reading higher than that indicates a leaky diode
(defective). A zero reading indicates a shorted diode (defective). An
OL indicates an open diode (defective). Reverse the test leads
connections (reverse biased) across the diode. The digital display
shows OL if the diode is good. Any other readings indicate the diode
is resistive or shorted (defective).
Note
1. Using Resistance, Continuity, Diode or Capacitance function in a
live circuit will produce false results and may damage the meter. In
many cases the suspected component (s) must be disconnected
from the circuit to obtain an accurate measurement reading.
CAUTION
2. When using Capacitance function, discharge capacitor(s) before
making any measurements. Large value capacitors should be
discharged through an appropriate resistance load
