ResistanceMeasurements
1. InserttheblacktestleadbananaplugintothenegativeCOMjackandtheredtestleadbanana
plugintothepositiveV//mAjack.
2. Setthefunctionswitchtothehighestposition.
3. Touchthetestprobetipsacrossthecircuitorpartundertest.Itisbest
todisconnectonesideof
thepartundertestsotherestofthecircuitwillnotinterferewiththeresistancereading.
4. Readtheresistanceinthedisplayandthensetthefunctionswitchtothelowestpositionthatis
greaterthantheactualoranyanticipatedresistance.

TemperatureMeasurements
WARNING:Toavoidelectricshock,disconnecttestleadsfromanysourceofvoltagebefore
makingatemperaturemeasurement.Besurethatthethermocouplehasbeenremovedbefore
changingtoanyothermeasurementfunction.
1. InsertthetypeKthermocoupleprobeintotheV//mAandCOMjacks.
2. Turntherotaryswitchtothe
o

o
Cposition.
3. Readthetemperatureonthedisplay.
ContinuityMeasurements
1. InserttheblacktestleadbananaplugintothenegativeCOMjackandtheredtestleadbanana
plugintothepositiveV//mAjack.Observepolarity.
2. Turntherotaryswitchtothe•)))position.
3. Touchthetestprobestothecircuitordeviceundertest.Ifthe
resistanceislessthan
approximately40thebuzzerwillsound.
DiodeMeasurements
1. InserttheblacktestleadbananaplugintothenegativeCOMjackandtheredtestleadbanana

2. Turntherotaryswitchtothe•)))position.
3. Touchthetestprobestothediodeundertest.Forwardvoltagewillindicate0.4Vto
0.7V.
Reversevoltagewillindicate“1.”.Shorteddeviceswillindicatenear0mVandanopendevice
willindicate“1.”inbothpolarities.
BatteryTest
1. InserttheblacktestleadbananaplugintothenegativeCOMjackandtheredtestleadbanana
plugintothepositiveVjack.
2. Turntherotaryswitchtothe1.5Vor9VBATposition.
3. Connecttheredtestleadtothepositivesideofthe1.5Vor
9Vbatteryandtheblacktestleadto
thenegativesideofthe1.5Vor9Vbattery.
4. Readthevoltageinthedisplay.
 Good Weak Bad
