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 green
Ω position.
2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative COM jack.
Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive Ω jack.
3. Press the MODE button to indicate“ "and “Ω” on 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 35Ω, the audible
signal will sound. If the circuit is open, the display will indicate
“OL”.
DIODE TEST
1. Set the function switch to the green Ω position.
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.
3. Press the MODE button to indicate “ “ and “V” on the
display.
4. Touch the test probes to the diode under test. Forward
voltage will typically indicate 0.400 to 0.700V. Reverse
voltage will indicate “OL”. Shorted devices will indicate
near 0V and an open device will indicate “OL” in both
polarities.
