Diode Testing Capacitance Circuit Connection: True RMS True RMS Function Resolution Accuracy Max.Test Max.Open Current Circuit Voltage 1mV +(1.5% +5)* 1.5mA 3V * For 0.4V to 0.8V. Overload Protection: 600V rms max Diode Check: To ensure a proper functioning diode, the meter will develop a voltage across the component from a test current. The diode test function allows measurements of forward voltage drops across diode and transistor junctions. 1.
Continuity Check Peak Hold Measurements Circuit Connection: True RMS True RMS Function Range Accuracy Function Range Accuracy DC Voltage 400mV Unspecified AC Voltage 400mV Unspecified To Verify Continuity: A continuity test ensures that all circuit connections are intact. 1. Plug the black test lead into the COM port and the red test lead into the °C°F VΩHz port. 2. Set the rotary switch to the Ω position. 3. Press the blue button until is shown in the display. 4.
Accessories General Specifications LCD Display: Bar Graph Display: Polarity Indication: True RMS For AC Current Clamp (61-450): 1. Plug the black test lead into the COM port and the red test lead into the VΩHz port. 2. Remove the probe tips from the end of the leads. 3. Attach the leads to the current clamp. (polarity will not effect reading) 4. Set the rotary switch to the V position. 5. Push the blue button until AC ˜ is shown on the display. 6.
