5.10. Resistance measurements
Warning:
To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and
discharge
all
measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords.
1. Set the function switch to the "OHM" position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana jack into the negative
jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive jack.
3. 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.
4. Read the resistance in the display. The display will indicate the
proper decimal point, value and symbol.
When you short the test leads in the 400 range, your meter
display a small value (no more than 0.3 ). This value is due to
your meter´s and test leads internal resistance. Make a note of this
value and subtract it from small resistance measurements for better
accuracy.
5.11. Continuity check
Warning:
To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity on circuits or
wires that have voltage on them.
1. Set the function switch to the "OHM" position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana jack into the negative COM
jack and the red test lead banana-plug into the positive jack.
3. Press the "MODE" push button until the " )))" symbol appears
in the display.
