RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords. Set the function switch to the Ω position. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack. Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive Ω... -
Page 9: Temperature Measurements
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS Set the function switch to the ºF or ºC position. Insert the Temperature Probe into the input jacks, making sure to observe the correct polarity. Touch the Temperature Probe head to the part whose temperature you wish to measure. Keep the probe touching the part under test until the reading stabilizes (about 30 seconds). -
Page 10: Autoranging/Manual Range Selection
AUTORANGING/MANUAL RANGE SELECTION When the meter is first turned on, it automatically goes into Autoranging. This automatically selects the best range for the measurements being made and is generally the best mode for most measurements. For measurement situations requiring that a range be manually selected, perform the following: Press the RANGE button. -
