c) Resistance Measurement
Make sure that all circuit parts, circuits and components and other objects of
measurement are disconnected from the voltage and discharged.
Proceed as follows to measure resistance:
- Switch on the DMM and select the measuring
range "Ω" . Insert the measuring lines into the
measuring jacks.
- Check the measuring lines for continuity by
connecting the two measuring prods. The
resistance value must be approximately
0.5 Ohm.
- Now connect the two measuring prods to the
object to be measured. As long as the object
to be measured is not high-resistance or inter-
rupted, the measured value will be indicated on
the display (2).
- If „O.L." (overfl ow) appears on the display, you have exceeded the measuring range or the
measuring circuit is interrupted.
If you carry out a resistance measurement, make sure that the measuring points you
touch with the measuring prods are free from dirt, oil, solderable lacquer or similar.
Such circumstances can falsify the measured result.
