7-9 Diode Testing
7-9-1
Connect the black test lead to
COM
jack and red lead to
VΩmA
jack.
7-9-2
Set the rotary switch to the “
” position.
7-9-3
Connect the red lead to the anode of the diode to be tested, and the
black lead to the cathode.
7-9-4
The diode’s forward voltage drop is displayed on the LCD.
NOTE
:
1.
The meter will display the approximate forward voltage drop of the diode.
2.
If the leads are reversed or not connected, “1” (over range) should be
displayed.
7-10 Continuity Testing
7-10-1
Connect the black test lead to
COM
jack and red lead to
VΩmA
jack.
7-10-2
Set the rotary switch to the “
” position.
7-10-3
Connect the test leads to the two points of the circuit under test.
7-10-4
If there is continuity (resistance is lower than approximately 50Ω)
the built-in beeper will sound.
NOTE:
1.
Do not attempt this measurement on energized circuits.
2.
If the leads are reversed, not connected, or connected to a resistance
more than approximately 2000Ω, “1” (over range) should be displayed
7-11 Measuring Capacitance
7-11-1
Connect the black test lead to
COM
jack and red lead to
VΩmA
jack.
7-11-2
Set the rotary switch at the desired “
20uF
” range position.
7-11-3
Connect test leads across the capacitance to be measured.
7-11-4
Read the capacitance from the LCD.
NOTE:
Capacitors should be discharged before being tested.
7-12 Non Contact AC Voltage detection
7-12-1
With the meter on, on any position of the rotary switch, press and
hold the “
NCV
” button. This activates the Non Contact AC Voltage
(NCV) detection circuit, and the NCV green LED will illuminate. The
“
NCV
” symbol will appear on the display.
7-12-2
Position the meter so the top is parallel to and in contact with, or
next to the conductor. When the AC voltage ≥90V AC RMS, the NCV
red LED and green LED will flash and the buzzer will sound.
7-12-3
Release the “
NCV
” key to exit the NCV meter mode.
NOTE:
1.
Even if the meter doesn’t indicate the presence of AC voltage, the volt
age may still be present. Do not rely on the non-contact voltage
detector to determine the presence of live voltage. Voltage detection may
be affected by socket design, insulation thickness, shielding, and other
AC voltage field interaction. The NCV detector does not detect DC
voltages.
2.
If the meter test leads are connected and measuring AC voltage, the NCV
detector circuit will also indicate AC voltage presence
(LEDs and buzzer activation) if NCV mode is activated.
3.
Proximity of florescent lights, dimmable lights, motors, and other large AC
field generating devices can trigger Non-Contact AC Voltage detection
function and invalidate the test
8. Battery Replacement
8-1
If the battery voltage drops below proper operation range the “ “
symbol will appear on the LCD display and the battery should be
changed.
8-2
Before attempting to remove the rear cover to replace the battery, be
certain the test leads have been disconnected from the circuit to avoid
electrical shock hazard. Power off the meter and remove the test leads
from the banana jacks. To access the battery, remove the (2) screws in
the rear cover and lift the cover.
8-3
Replace the old battery with the same type battery (9V 6F22 or
NEDA 1604).
8-4
Replace the rear cover of the meter and reinstall the (2) screws.
9. Fuse replacement
9-1
To avoid electrical shock or injury, remove test leads from circuitry
before replacing the fuse.
9-2
Before attempting to remove the rear cover to replace the fuse, be
certain the test leads have been disconnected from the circuit. Power off
the meter and remove the test leads from the banana jacks. To
access the fuse holder, remove the (2) screws in the rear cover and lift
the cover.
9-3
Replace the old fuse only with the same type and rating: 6×30mm
200mA/500V fast fuse.
9-4
Replace the rear cover and reinstall the (2) screws.
10. Maintenance
10-1
Before attempting to remove the battery cover or open the case, be
certain that test leads have been disconnected from energized circuitry
to avoid electric shock hazard.
10-2
Replace the test leads if the any wire is exposed, or if they become
damaged.
10-3
Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents to clean the meter.
10-4
Do not use the meter with the rear cover removed. Injury may result.
10-5
If the meter will not be used for more than 1 month, remove the battery
to avoid possible damage from battery leakage.
