Testing Diodes
40 U1190A Series User’s Guide
Reverse the probes (as shown in Figure 2- 16) and measure
the voltage across the diode again. Assess the diode
according to the following guidelines:
• A diode is considered good if the clamp meter displays
in reverse- bias mode.
• A diode is considered shorted if the clamp meter
displays approximately 0 V in both forward and
reverse- bias modes, and the clamp meter beeps
continuously.
• A diode is considered open if the clamp meter displays
in both forward- and reverse- bias modes.
Figure 2-14 Open diode display
NOTE
If the beeper is enabled during diode test, the clamp meter will beep briefly
for a normal junction and sound continuously for a shorted junction.
