RESISTANCE:
To measure resistance, the TM-16 measures the voltage over
the resistance when a known current flows through it after
which it calculates the resistance; therefor it is important to
make measurements only with the power switched OFF.
To reduce measuring-errors, caused by parallel resistors, it is
advisable to remove the resistor from the circuit and not to
touch the metal part of the test leads and/or resistor.
1. Connect the red test lead to the V/
Ω
/mA input jack and
the black test lead to the COM jack.
2. Set the rotary/function switch on the desired
Ω
range.
3. Connect the test leads to the resistor.
4. The display shows the resistance.
DIODE:
When testing a diode, the LCD readout will show 1... (overload)
when the diode is in back-direction; when the diode is in
conductive-direction, than the meter readout will show the
forward voltage.
The same rules as described by "RESISTANCE" are applicable
during diode measurements.
1. Set the selector switch to .
2. Connect the red test lead to the V/
Ω
/mA input jack and
the black test lead to the COM jack.
3. Connect the test leads to the diode.
