terminal. In a circuit, a good diode should still produce a forward-bias reading of 0.5V to
0.8V.
Measuring Capacitance
CAUTION
• To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, disconnect
circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before measuring capacitance.
Use the dc voltage function to confirm that the capacitor is discharged.
To improve the accuracy of measurements less than 1000nF, you can use the relative (Δ)
mode to subtract the residual capacitance of the leads.
To use capacitance, turn the rotary switch to diode position, then press F1 to change
measuring mode.
Measuring Temperature
CAUTION
• The accuracy specifications are only applicable under lowest brightness within
15-minute operation time when the temperature is stable within ±1°C and the
instrument has been left for more than 2 hours in OFF state.
The meter measures the temperature of a K-Type thermocouple. Readings outside of
these ranges show "OL" on the display. When there is no thermocouple connected, the
display also shows "OL"
