Diode test functions

For model 869s: Press the SELECT button momentarily to toggle between the subject
functions. Last selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement
convenience.
For model 867s: Direct rotary switch selection on Capacitance and Diode functions is
used.
CAUTION
Discharge capacitors before making any measurement. Large value capacitors should
be discharged through an appropriate resistance load.
Normal forward voltage drop (forward biased) for a good silicon diode is between
0.400V to 0.900V. A reading higher than that indicates a leaky diode (defective). A
zero reading indicates a shorted diode (defective). An OL indicates an open diode
(defective). Reverse the test leads connections (reverse biased) across the diode. The
digital display shows OL if the diode is good. Any other readings indicate the diode is
resistive or shorted (defective).
