6.8. Diode testing
Caution!
Measurements must only be made with the circuit power OFF.
1. Insert the black and red test lead into the COM and
V//CAP/Hz/Temp.-input terminal respectively.
2. Set the Rotary Selector Switch to the  - position.
3. Select the function by pressing the Mode-button.
4. Follow steps 1 and 3 as for resistance measurements.
5. The red lead should be connected to the anode and the black lead
to the cathode. For a silicon diode, the typical forward voltage
should be about 0,6 V.
6.9. Continuity testing
1. Insert the black and red test lead into the COM and
V//CAP/Hz/Temp.-input terminal respectively.
2. Set the Rotary Selector Switch to the -position.
3. Select the
*
))) function by pressing the MODE-button.
4. Follow steps 1 and 3 as for resistance measurements. An audible tone
will sound for resistance less than approx. 50 . After all
measurements are completed, disconnect the test leads from the
circuit and from the multimeter inputterminals.
