6.6. Temperature measurements
Warning!
To avoid electric shock, disconnect both test probes from any source of
voltage before making a temperature measurement.
1. If you wish to measure temperature in °F, set the function
to the °F range. If you wish to measure temperature in °C, set
function switch to the °C range.
2. Insert the Temperature probe into the negative (-) jack (COM)
and the positive (+) jack (Temperature), making sure
the correct polarity.
3. Touch
the
temperature you wish to measure. Keep the probe touching
the part under test until the reading stabilizes (about 30 seconds).
4. Read the temperature in the display. The digital reading will indicate
the proper decimal point and value.
6.7. Checking Continuity
Warning!
Never perform a continuity measurement on a circuit that has power
connected.
Follow these steps to check a circuit's continuity.
1. Set the rotary selector to (((o)))
2. Plug the black test lead into your meter's COM terminal and the
red test lead into your meter's V//CAP/Hz/Temp.- terminal.
3. Remove power from the circuit.
4. Connect the test leads to the circuit.
Note:
The buzzer sounds if the measured resistance is below about 50
approximately.
