Note: The test procedure of microwave oven diodes is identical to regular diodes except forward voltage drop will be higher (3 or more volts) than standard silicon diodes. LEDs may also be tested with the LCR55A in the M.W. position. Continuity Test The Continuity test checks electrical continuity between two contact points.
1. Set the Function/Range switch to the PNP(hFE) or NPN(hFE) position, according to the type of transistor to be measured. 2. Plug the emitter, base and collector leads of the transistor into the correct holes of test socket. 3. Read the hFE beta, (DC current gain) in the display. Note: To measure the collector-emitter current, set the function/range switch to the corresponding PNP(Icec µA) or NPN(Icec µA) position.
