5.8 Circuit continuity test
WARNING
Do not perform measurements on the circuit under the
voltage. Before the measurement disconnect the pow-
er and discharge capacitors.
To perform the continuity test:
set the rotary switch at Ω
press MODE/INRUSH button to display
connect black test lead to COM terminal, and red test lead to
VΩHz%
contact the tips of test probes to the points of measurement,
read the measurement result on the display; the beep will be acti-
vated when resistance values are below approx. 50 Ω.
5.9 Diode test
WARNING
Do not perform measurements on the circuit under the
voltage. Before the measurement disconnect the pow-
er and discharge capacitors. Do not test the diode un-
der voltage.
To perform the diode test:
set the rotary switch at Ω
press MODE/INRUSH button, to display
connect black test lead to COM terminal, and red test lead to
VΩHz%
contact the tips of test probes to the diode. The red test probe
should contact the anode and the black should contact cathode,
read the test result on the display – the forward voltage is dis-
played.
For a typical silicon rectifier diode, it is approx. 0.7 V, and for
a germanium diode it is approx. 0.3 V
