3.4 Measuring Resistance

Resistance measurement range: 120

Ω, 1.2 kΩ, 12 kΩ, 120 kΩ, 1.2 MΩ, 12 MΩ, 120 MΩ

Maximum resolution: 1

mΩ (on 120 Ω range)

3.4.1 Connections

Assuming the multimeter is under factory default conditions, the basic procedure for measuring

resistance is as follows:

1. Connect test leads to the multimeter as follows:

A: For

Ω2-wire, connect the test leads to INPUT HI and LO.

B: For

Ω4-wire, connect the test leads to INPUT HI and LO, and SENSE Ω 4W HI and LO. Kelvin

test probes are recommended for this setup.

2. Select

Ω 2-wire or Ω 4-wire measurement function by pressing

or

respectively.

3. Press

to toggle between auto and manual ranging. Notice the AUTO annunciator is

displayed with auto ranging. For manual range, use the RANGE and keys to select a

measurement range.

4. Connect test leads to the resistance as shown in Figure 3-3:

CAUTION: Do not apply more than 1000 V peak

between

INPUT HI and LO or it will damage the

instrument

5.

If the “OVR.FLW” message is displayed, press up key to select a higher range until a normal

reading is displayed (or press

key for auto ranging). Use the lowest possible range for the

best resolution.

6. The measured reading is displayed.
