  • Page 10: Making Measurement

    MAKING MEASUREMENT X� 1. Use the proper function and range for measurements. 2. To avoid possible electrical shock, personal injury or damages to the Meter, disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance and diode. 3. Connecting test leads: • Connect the common (COM) test lead to the circuit before connecting the live lead.

  • Page 12: Measuring Resistance

    Measuring Resistance X� Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance. Note: On a higher resistance measurement (>1Me), the measurement may take a few seconds to get stable reading. Measuring Continuity X� Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high- voltage capacitors before testing continuity.
  • Page 13: Measuring Diode

    Measuring Diode X� Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high- voltage capacitors before testing diode. Battery Test X� Applying a voltage source or incorrect battery type under battery test may cause personal Injury or damage to the Meter. Battery 1.5V range is for dry battery not exceeding 2Vdc. The resistance load is around 30Ω.
