Precision Gold N73BZ - Resistance, Continuity, and Diode Tests

NOTE: 0.2A/500V fast acting resettable fuse current inputs
and overload protection on mA, µA ranges. No replacement
required.
RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the
unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any
resistance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug
the line cords.
1. Set the function switch to the Ω position.
2. Press the MODE button to indicate Ω on the display.
3. Place the test probe tips across the circuit or part under test. It
is best to disconnect one side of the part under test so the rest
of the circuit will not interfere with the resistance reading.
4. Read the resistance in the display
CONTINUITY CHECK
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity
on circuits or wires that have voltage on them.
1. Set the function switch to the Ω position.
2. Press the MODE button to indicate on the display
3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or wire you wish to check.
4. If the resistance is less than approximately 150Ω, the meter will
bleep. If the circuit is open, the display will indicate “OL”.

DIODE TEST
1. Set the function switch to the Ω position.
2. Press the MODE button to indicate on the display.
3.
Touch the test probes to the diode under test. Forward voltage
will typically indicate 0.4 to 0.7V. Reverse voltage will indicate
“OL”. Shorted devices will indicate near 0V and an open device
will indicate “OL” in both polarities
