4. Connect the probes across the circuit to be
measured.
5. For resistances of approximately 1 megohm and
above, the display may take a few seconds to stabilize.
This is normal for high resistance readings.
Use the measuring unit display to see the range you
are in. “Q” or “KQ” to distinguish between 300 ohm
and 300 kohm, “MQ” or “kQ” for 30 Megohms vs.
30 kohms.
Notes:
1. Your unit has a circuit to protect the resistance
ranges
from
over-voltage
(500V
AC
1
minute).
To
prevent
accidentally
exceeding
the
rating
of
the
protection
circuit
and
to
ensure
the
correct
measurement,
never
connect
the probes to a source of voltage when the function
switch is set to the KO or diode check position.
