*
If "OL" is displayed, it means the diode is open or above 2,0V
forward voltage. However, if the display shows a value between
0V and approx 2,0V, it means a forward drop voltage.
*
The instrument supplies enough forward to light most LED's.
However, if the LED's forward voltage is greater than 2,0V, the
instrument incorrectly indicates, that the device is open.
4.9. Continuity test
CAUTION! Never perform a continuity measurement on a circuit that
has power connected!
1.
Connect the black test lead to the COM jack. (Note: The polarity
of the probe tip connection is positive "+").
2.
Set the function switch to -position and push the "FUNC"
button to select continuity or diode test mode.
3.
In continuity testing if continuity exists (i. e. resistance
less than about 50 ) built-in buzzer will sound.
