g. Continuity Buzzer
WARNING!
Do not attempt to make continuity measurements with
circuit energized.
I Instrument set-up:
FUNCTION BLACK TEST LEAD RED TEST LEAD
COM
Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2. Plug black test lead into the COM input jack.
3. Plug red test lead into the input jack.
4. Set the rotary switch to the function.
5. Press the orange push button to activate the continuity
buzzer.
6. Connect test leads to circuit to be measured.
7. Listen for the buzzer to confirm continuity.
f. Measuring Diodes
CAUTION
Do not attempt to make diode measurements with circuit
energized. The only way to accurately test a diode is to
remove it completely from the circuit before attempting to
measure it.
Instrument set-up:
FUNCTION BLACK RED MINIMUM MAXIMUM
TEST LEAD TEST LEAD READING READING
COM 0.001V 2.0000V
Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2. Plug black test lead into the COM input jack.
3. Plug red test lead into input jack.
4. Set the rotary switch to the function.
5. Connect the black test lead to the banded end of the diode
and the red test lead to the non-banded end of the diode.
6. Reading on the display should be between 0.5 and 0.8
volts.
7. Reading test lead connections in 5 above.
8. Reading on the display should be OFL(Overflow).
NOTE: If diode reads 0 in both directions, diode is
shorted. If diode reads OFL in both directions, diode
is open.
