5 Operation
5.5 Resistance measurements
WARNING
Do not do diode, resistance or continuity tests before you have removed the
power from capacitors and other devices under test during a measurement.
Injury to persons can occur.
1. Set the function switch to the
position.
2. Insert the black probe lead into the negative COM terminal and the red probe
lead into the positive Ω terminal.
3. Touch the tips of the probe across the circuit or component under test.
4. Read the resistance value on the display.
5.6 Capacitance measurements
WARNING
Do not take capacitance measurements before you have removed the power
from the capacitor or other device or circuit during a test. Injury to persons can
occur.
1. Set the function switch to the
position.
2. Insert the black probe lead into the negative COM terminal and the red probe
lead into the positive
terminal.
3. Press the
button to zero any stray capacitance. The relative reference
is stored and the
indicator is displayed.
4. Touch the tips of the probe across the part under test.
5. Read the capacitance value on the display.
6. Use the
button to toggle the display between relative reference ap-
plied (solid
indicator) and no reference applied (flashing indicator).
7. To exit the zero (relative) mode, press and hold the
button. The in-
dicator disappears and the
indicator is displayed.
