Never make a diode test on a live circuit
Connect the leads to the multimeter and to the terminals of the component
to be tested.
Place the selector switch on the diode function
- in forward direction the display gives the value of the junction in volts
(resolution 1mV)
- accuracy : ± 2 % R ± 15 mV
- open circuit voltage : ≥ 3 V
- short circuit current : 0.8mA
- in reverse direction the display indicates the open circuit voltage,
around 3V.
Memorise the value if necessary, by pressing the HOLD button.
With this function it is thus possible to test standard diodes, l.e.d's or any other
semiconductor which has a junction that corresponds to a direct voltage of
less than 3V.
