Two beeps indicate the diode has passed and the leads are reversed in reference to the diode’s polarity. The tester will automatically switch the connections internally to compensate for reversed test leads if the REVERSE function is enabled in the setup mode.

At the top of the setup screen the number of passed and failed diodes since last power up or reset is displayed. CDT-65A Statistical Report Time:………. Date:……… Current Test Mode Diodes PASS Diodes FAIL Diodes Tested Tested by:………………………………………… Operations Manual: CDT-65A Diode Tester Page 13...
Vdrop= _._ _ _V REVERSE The CDT-65A will automatically switch the test leads internally if the test leads are reversed if the REVERSE function is enabled. When REVERSE is disabled it is not possible to test a diode if the test leads are reversed, this is useful for sorting diodes by polarity. The REVERSE function is off when there is an X through its icon.
WARNING: Disconnect the test leads when executing Self Test function. The CDT-65A has a built in self-test feature. The high voltage and high current circuits are both tested and a pass or fail message will be displayed. To run the self- test turn the tester off…...
The amount of current used to test rectifier diodes can be adjusted from 20 to125 Amps. Use the corresponding up and down function keys to increase or decrease the current. Press Next (F6) to write the setup into the memory. Operations Manual: CDT-65A Diode Tester Page 16...
