IN-CIRCUIT
RESISTANCE
MEASUREMENTS
The 2000, 2ko and
200 ko ranges
are low
power
ohms ranges that
can
be
used to
measure resistance
values
connected
in parallel
with silicon
junctions (autoranging
MO and
autoranging
ko
will turn
on silicon
junctions).
On these ranges the
test voltage
is
less than
the voltage required
to turn
on a
normal
silicon
junction.
1.
Push switch in for
DIODE TEST
(same
switch
as for
RESISTANCE
function).
2. Push in the two range
switches
marked
with
the
diode
symbol
-*
AT
THE SAME
TIME.
3. Connect the
test probes
as shown
above
for the
RESISTANCE
function.
4.
Connect the test
probes to
forward
bias the
diode
as shown
below:
Typical
reading
for
forward
biased
silicon
diode.
Reverse the test
probes
to back
bias the
diode
as
shown
below:
Overrange
will
be
dis-
played
provided
parallel
resistors
are
>2kn.
• Displayed value
is the
forward
voltage
(2V
range).
