Triplett 630 - Measuring DC Resistance; Ohms and Kilohms Measurement

MEASURING DC RESISTANCE
X1 thru X100K Ohms Ranges:
I. Place selector switch in appropriate ohms range.
2. Short test probes together.
3. Adjust "QADJ" control until meter reads zero ohms.
4. Connect test probes to component being measured.
5
. Read ohms on top black "О" scale (multiply value read
times range switch factor).
The component being measured should be disconnected from
the circuit before its resistance is measured since any added circuit
path can cause an error in measurement. Also, any voltage or
current present in the circuit during measurement can cause an error
in resistance measurement.
When using the ohmmeter for general continuity and circuit
tracing it is recommended the XIK resistance range Le used. The
lower battery drain on this range (compared to the XI range) will
result in increased battery life.
