3. Remove power from the circuit under test and then
break the circuit at the appropriate point.
4. Connect the test leads in series with the circuit.
5. Apply power and read the current. Your meter displays
the current value.
Note: If you see the meter for DC current, "-" appears or
disappears. This indicates the polarity of the measured
current.
6.3. Measuring Resistance
WARNING!
*
Never connect the test leads to a source of voltage when
you have the selected the OHMS function and plugged
the test leads into the V//Hz-terminal.
*
Be sure that the circuit under test has all power removed
and that any associated capacitors are fully discharged
before you make a resistance measurement.
1. Set the rotary selector to the desired OHM range.
2. Plug the black test lead into your meter's COM terminal
and the red test lead into your meter's V//Hz-terminal.
3. Connect the test leads to the device you want to
measure.
The resistance measuring circuit compares the voltage
gained through a known resistance (internal) with the
voltage developed across the unknown resistance. So,
when you check in-circuit resistance, be sure the circuit
under test has all power removed (all capacitors are fully
discharged).
