DiodeTest

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

lead banana plug into the positive jack.

2. Turn the function switch to position. Use the M button to select the diode function, the

diode and voltage symbols will appear on the LCD when in Diode test mode.

3. Touch the test probe tips to the diode or semiconductor junction under test. Note the

meter reading.

4. Reverse the test lead polarity by reversing the red and black leads. Note this reading.

5. The diode or junction can be evaluated as follows:

 If one reading displays a value (typically 0.500V to 0.800V) and the reverse reading

displays OL, then the diode is good.

 If both readings display OL, the device is open.

 If both readings are very small or ‘0’, the device is shorted.
