Temperature Measurements; Capacity Measurements - Multimetrix DMM 240 Notice De Fonctionnement

4. Apply test probes to the terminals of the diode to be tested. Direct
voltage is usually expressed by a value between 0.4 and 0.7 V.
Reverse voltage is indicated by "OL". Short-circuit elements display
a value close to 0V, open elements "OL" in both polarities.

3.8 Temperature measurements

1. Set the function switch to the Temp
position.
2. Insert connector banana plugs into the
negative COM and positive Temp
terminals in keeping with polarity.
3. Press the MODE key to indicate ºF or ºC
4. Touch the Temperature Probe head to the
part whose temperature you wish to
measure.
5. The temperature measured is displayed.
The temperature probe is fitted with a type K mini connector.
A mini connector to banana plug adaptor is supplied for connection
to the terminals.

3.9 Capacity measurements

To avoid any risk of deterioration, remove power from the
circuit to be tested and unload capacitors before making
capacity measurements.
1. Set the function switch to the
position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the
negative COM terminal.
Insert the red test lead banana plug into the
positive + terminal.
3. Press the MODE key to display "nF" on screen.
4. Apply the test probes to the points of the circuit to
be tested.
5. The measurement may take up to 3 minutes or
more for large capacitors, due to load time.
Wait until the displayed measurement settles
before ending the test.
6. The capacity value is displayed on screen.
