5. If the resistance is less than 35 , the audible signal will sound.
The display will also show the actual resistance in ohms.
4.6.5. Diode test
WARNING!
To avoid electric shock, do not test any diode that has voltage on it.
1. Set the function switch to the
2. Insert the black test lead plug into the COM socket and the red
test lead plug into the
3. Press the MODE button until "
4. Touch the test probe tips to the diode or semiconductor junction
you wish to test. Note the meter reading.
5. Reverse the probe polarity by switching probe position. Note
this reading.
6. The diode or junction can be evaluated as follows:
A.
If one reading shows a value and the other reading shows
OL, the diode is good.
B.
If both readings show OL, the device is open.
C.
If both readings are very small or zero, the device is
shorted.
