MEASURING RESISTANCE/CONDUCTIVITY
When measuring ultra-high resistance, higher than 40MΩ, it is advised to use nS
range to measure its conductivity G: G=1/R (Ω). The unit Siemens (S)=10 9/R (Ω).
The unit is (nS).
By virtue of the function of resistance measuring, it is allowed to make self-checks
on built-in fuses.
Open circuit voltage is about 1V.
Caution
If the resistance under test is an open circuit, or the resistance is beyond the
maximum range of the instrument, it will display “OL” on the LCD.
When measuring in-circuit resistance, turn off all the power to the circuit under test
and discharge the residual electric charge in the capacitor before measuring, in
order to guarantee correct findings.
In low-resistance measuring, the probe will result in an error of 0.1Ω-0.2Ω.
In order to acquire an accurate reading, it is necessary to short-circuit the probe
and adopt Relative Measuring mode to ensure measuring precision.
If probe resistance is higher than 0.5Ω in short circuit, it’s necessary to check
whether the probe is loose or if there is any other reason.
When measuring high resistance, it is likely to take a couple of measurements
before the reading is stable. This is normal for measuring high resistance.
It is not allowed to input voltage higher than DC 30V or AC 30V in order to prevent
personal injury.
