WARNING: DO NOT input any voltage at resistance range

for safety!

2-2-6.Diode and Continuity Test
A) Insert the black test lead to “COM” terminal and the red test

lead to “

” terminal. (The polarity of red test lead is“+”).

B) Rotate the Range to “

“setting. Press “SELECT” button

to select the Diode measurement mode.

C) Forward Measurement: Connect the red test lead to the

diode positive polarity and the black test lead to the diode
negative polarity. The approximate value of diode forward
voltage drop will show on the display.

4. Backward Measurement: Connect the red test lead to the

diode negative polarity and the black test lead to the diode
positive polarity. “OL” symbol will be displayed on the
screen.

5. The complete diode testing includes forward and backward

measurement, if the result does not meet the above; it
means the diode is bad.

6. Press “SELECT” button to select the Continuity

measurement mode.

7. Connect the test leads to two points of the tested circuit. If

the built-in buzzer sounds, the resistance between the two
points is less than 50Ω.
