When the output jack is open circuit, the screen displays OL. Warning To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, do not connect the TC with the live circuit.
  • Page 18 www.tmatlantic.com To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing diodes. Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, and silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCR), and other semiconductor devices. The test sends a current through a semiconductor junction, and then measures the junction’s voltage drop.
  • Page 19 www.tmatlantic.com To test continuity, proceed as follows: 1. Set the rotary switch to position, and press blue button ( ) twice to select continuity check and the symbol “ ” will be shown on the left part of the screen. 2.
  • Page 20 www.tmatlantic.com See Figure3-10. Capacitance Measurement Measuring Current (See Figure3-11, Figure3-12) Warning  Never attempt an in-circuit current measurement where the open-circuit potential to earth is greater than 1000 V. You may damage the meter or be injured if the fuse blows during such a measurement.
  • Page 21 www.tmatlantic.com Notice  Start measuring from the high range if the current can’t be evaluated.  For safety, the measuring time should be limited within 15s, while the interval should be more than 10 min when measuring high current. If the input current is more than 10.00A, then the inner beeper sounds constantly indicating the value surpass the range.
