Figure 3-4. DC Voltage Measurement
Measuring Resistance
Caution
To avoid possible damage to the meter or to
the equipment under test, disconnect circuit
power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before measuring resistance.
Resistance is an opposition to current flow. The unit of
resistance is the ohm (Ω). The meter measures resistance
by sending a small current through the circuit.
The meter’s resistance ranges are 500.00 Ω, 5.0000 kΩ,
50.000 kΩ, 500.00 kΩ, 5.0000 MΩ, and 30.000 MΩ.
To measure resistance, set up the meter as shown in
Figure 3-5.
All pushbutton functions are available with resistance
measurements. The blue key cycles to continuity and
conductance measurement, which are described later in
this chapter.
