Resistance and Continuity Measurements

1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and

the red test lead banana plug into the V/

Ω/CAP jack.

2. Set the function switch to the "

Ω

" position.

3. Press the SELECT key momentarily to select Continuity (if required).

4. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or part under test. It is best

to disconnect one side of the part under test so the rest of the circuit

will not interfere with the resistance reading.

5. For Resistance tests, read the resistance on the display.

6. For Continuity tests, If the resistance is < 20

Ω, an audible tone will

sound

Automatic test lead resistance calibration

When manually entering the 50

Ω range (using the RANGE key) the

automatic test lead resistance feature will prompt ("Shrt" in the display)

the user to short the inputs for calibration. Short the test leads for about

3 seconds until the display shows zero. The resistance of the test leads

is now subtracted from the reading. The compensation value can be as

much as 5

Ω.

Note: The compensation procedure must be repeated each time the

range or function is changed.

Capacitance Measurements

1. Insert the black lead into the negative COM jack and the red test lead

into the positive CAP jack.

2. Set the function switch to the "

CAP" position.

3. Press the SELECT key momentarily to select the Capacitance

function (if required).

4. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested and read the

measured value.
