Diodetest - VOLTCRAFT VC-86 Notice D'emploi

For the continuity check, press button "S" (5) until the symbol
appears in the display. If you continue to press it, you will switch to
the next measuring area (dode test, resistance, continuity ...).
As soon as "OL" appears in the display, you have exceeded the mea-
suring area or the measuring circuit has been broken.
Diode test
For this measurement, proceed as follows:
- Switch area selection switch (10) to position
- Press button "S"(5) twice to switch over to the diode test area.
The diode symbol
- Now connect the two measuring prods with the object to be mea-
sured (diode). The conducting-state voltage is displayed.
If you test a diode in the conducting direction(rred measu-
ring prod on the anode = diode side without ring marking),
you will measure a voltage from approx. 0.6 V (silicon
diode), as long as the diode route is not defective.
If you measure on the other hand in the blocked direction
(red measuring line on the cathode = diode side with ring
marking), "OL" will appear in the display.
If, on the other hand, a "voltage figure" is displayed, you
have either connected the object to be measured incor-
rectly or it is defective.
