4. Operating instructions 4.1 Ω test 1. Plug the test leads into COM and + sockets. 2. Place the range selector to a prescribed range position. 3. Short the test leads and turn 0Ω ADJ to set the pointer to zero position. 4. Make sure that there is no voltage across the circuit to be tested. 5. Connect the test leads to the tested resistor and read the scale in accordance with the reference table. 4.2 DCV test 1. Plug the red test lead into the + socket and the black one into the - COM. 2.
1. Plug the test leads into + and - COM sockets. 2. Set the range selector to x10 (15mA) for small size transistor, or to x1 (150mA) for big size transistor. 3. Adjust 0Ω ADJ to set the pointer to zero position of the Ω scale. 4. Connect the transistor with the tester : For NPN transistor, the "N" terminal of the tester is connected with the COLLECTOR (C) of the transistor and the "P" terminal with the EMITTER (E) of the transistor. For PNP transistor, reverse the NPN transistor connection. 5.
4.8 Diode test 1. Set the range selector at selected range position : x 1K for 0 - 150 µA test, x 100 for 0 - 1.5 mA test, x 10 for 0 - 15 mA test, x 1 for 0 - 150 mA test. 2. Connect the diode to the tester. For IF (forward current) test, connect the "N" terminal of the tester to the positive polarity of the diode and the "P" terminal to the negative polarity of the diode. For IR (reverse current) test, reverse the connection. 3. Read IF or IR one the LI scale provided. 4.
