User Manual

* If the display indicates an overrange condition, reverse the
polarity of the connection. If the display shows a value, the
device is good. The displayed value is the component’s actual
forward voltage (up to 2.0 volts). If the display still indicates
anoverrange condition, the device is open.
* If the display shows a value both before and after you reverse
the polarity, the device is shorted.
When you connect the diode to the meter and the meter displays
the devices forward voltage, the red test lead is connect to the
diods’s anode, and the black test lead is connected to the diode’s
cathode. This meter supplies enough forward voltage to light most
LED´s. However, if the LED’s forward voltage is greater than 2.0
volts, the meter incorrectly indicates that the device is open.
6.5. Checking Continuity
Follow these steps to check a circuit’s continuity.
1. Set the rotary selector to (((o)))
2. Plug the black test lead into your meter’s COM terminal and the
red test lead into your meter’s V//Hz/ - terminal.
3. Press
°
))) to switch between  and
°
4. Remove power from the circuit.
5. Connect the test leads to the circuit.
Note:
The buzzer sounds if the measured resistance is below about 40
approximately.
Warning! Never perform a continuity measurement on a circuit that
has power connected.
