Resistance Measurement; Diode Testing; Continuity Testing; Battery And Fuse Replacement - Velleman DVM852 User Manual

4. Read the current value and the polarity of the red lead connection on
the LCD display

12. Resistance Measurement

Do not conduct resistance measurements on live circuits. Make sure
all capacitors in the circuit are depleted.
1. Connect the red test lead to the "VmA" jack and the black test lead to
the "COM" jack (the red lead has a positive polarity "+").
2. Set the rotary switch in the appropriate "" range position.
3. Connect the test leads to the resistor to be measured and read the
LCD display.
4. If the resistance being measured is connected to a circuit, turn off the
power and discharge all capacitors before applying the test probes.

13. Diode Testing

Do not conduct diode or continuity measurements on live circuits.
Make sure all capacitors in the circuit are depleted.
1. Connect the red test lead to "VmA" jack and the black one to the
"COM" jack (the red lead has a positive polarity "+".).
2. Set the rotary switch in the "
3. Connect the red test lead to the anode of the diode to be tested and
the black test lead to the cathode of the diode. The approx. forward
voltage drop of the diode will be displayed. If the connection is
reversed, the display will merely show a "1".

14. Continuity Testing

Do not conduct diode or continuity measurements on live circuits.
Make sure all capacitors in the circuit are depleted.
1. Connect the red test lead to "VmA" and the black one to "COM".
2. Set the range switch in the " " position.
3. Connect the test leads to two points of the circuit to be tested. If
continuity exists, the built-in buzzer will sound.

15. Battery and Fuse Replacement

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock always disconnect the test
leads prior to opening the housing. To prevent fire hazards, only
use fuses with the same ratings as specified in this manual.
Remark: refer to the warning on the battery compartment
