plug into the + terminal.
Touch the test lead probes to the diode under test.
Forward voltage will indicate 0.4 to 0.7V on the LCD display; Reverse voltage will indicate OL; Shorted
devices will indicate near 0 and an open device will indicate OL in both polarities.
4.5. CONTINUITY CHECK
WARNING: Never test continuity on a live circuit.
Set the rotary switch to the
Press the MODE button until the
Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM terminal; Insert the red test lead banana
plug into the + terminal.
Touch the test lead probes to the device or wire under test.
A beeper will sound if the resistance is approx. 50 Ω or less and the resistance reading will be shown
on the LCD display.
4.6. CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENT
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power, remove the batteries and unplug the line cords
of the unit under test. Discharge all capacitors before taking any capacitance measurements.
Set the rotary switch to the
Press the MODE button until the nF symbol appears on the LCD display.
Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM terminal; Insert the red test lead banana
plug into the + terminal.
Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested. Wait until the readings settle before ending the test.
Read the capacitance value in the display.
4.7. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
WARNING: Do not touch the temperature probe to live circuits.
Set the function switch to the Temp position.
Press the MODE button to indicate °C or °F.
Connect the temperature probe to the banana plug adapter, note the - and + markings on the adapter.
Connect the adapter to the clamp meter, making sure the - side goes into the COM terminal and the
positive side goes into the + terminal.
Touch the tip of the temperature probe to the object being measured.
Read the temperature on the LCD display.
