F.) Continuity Testing
WARNING: Make sure you turn off all power to the circuit and discharge any capacitors prior to testing continuity.
1. Connect the black test lead to the "COM" jack and the red test lead to the "V/Ω" jack.
2. Select . Connect both leads across a component in the circuit to test continuity.
3. If good continuity exists, the built in buzzer will sound.
G.) Diode Testing
WARNING: Make sure you turn off all power to the circuit and discharge any capacitors prior to testing a diode.
1. Connect the black test lead to the "COM" jack and the red test lead to the "V/Ω" jack.
2. Select to enter the Diode testing mode.
3. To test a diode's forward bias, place the black lead to the cathode and the red lead to the anode.
4. Reversing the leads should produce near infinite resistance.
H.) Capacitance Measuring
WARNING: Make sure you turn off all power to the circuit and discharge any capacitors prior to testing.
1. Connect the black test lead to the "COM" jack and the red test lead to the "V/Ω" jack.
2. Select to measure capacitance.
3. To accurately test capacitance, you must remove the capacitor from the circuit. Be sure to discharge
the capacitor prior to taking a measurement.
Digital Multi Meter Safety Instructions
◆ Prior to taking any measurements, be sure you are using the correct range, function and input jack. Red is positive, black is negative.
◆ Never exceed the protection limit value for each range of measurement.
◆ While measuring a live circuit, do not touch any unused terminals.
◆ If the value to be measured is unknown while using the manual range, set the range selector to the highest position.
◆ Always be careful when working with AC or DC voltages since you could be injured or killed by voltage going through your body. Keep your
fingers behind the probe barriers while measuring. Do not touch the metal probes while taking any measurements.
◆ Never perform any capacitance measurements unless the capacitor has been fully discharged.
