connect to the diode’s anode, and the black test lead is
connected to the diode’s cathode. This meter supplies
enough forward voltage to light most LED´s. However, if the
LED’s forward voltage is greater than 2.0 volts, the meter
incorrectly indicates that the device is open.
6.9. Checking Continuity
Follow these steps to check a circuit’s continuity.
1. Set the rotary selector to
2. Press select until Continuity symbol is shown
2. Plug the black test lead into your meter’s COM terminal
and the red test lead into your meter’s V//Hz/-
terminal.
3. Remove power from the circuit.
4. Connect the test leads to the circuit.
Note:
The buzzer sounds if the measured resistance is below
about 50 approximately.
Warning! Never perform a continuity measurement on a
circuit that has power connected.
