1. Turn on the DMM and select the measuring range "Ω". Press
the SHIFT/SETUP button (3) until the diode test symbol
appears in the display.
2. Insert the red test lead in the °CHzVΩ measuring socket (7),
the black test lead in the COM measuring socket (8) (Fig. 6).
3. Check the test leads for continuity by connecting the test
prods with one another. After that the value must be approx.
0.0000 V.
4. Connect the two test prods with the object to be measured
(diode).
5. The display shows the continuity voltage "UF" in Volts (V).
If "OL" is indicated, the diode is measured in reverse
direction (UR) or the diode is faulty (interruption). Perform a
measurement with the poles reversed as a control.
6. After the measurement has been completed, remove the test leads from the object being
measured and turn the DMM off.
g) Continuity test
Make sure that all circuit parts, switches and components, and other objects of
measurement are disconnected from the voltage and discharged at all times.
1. Turn on the DMM and select the measuring range "Ω".
Press the SHIFT/SETUP button (3) until the continuity test
symbol
appears.
2. Insert the red test lead in the °CHzVΩ measuring socket (7),
the black test lead in the COM measuring socket (8) (Fig. 7).
3. A measuring value of <10 Ω is identified as continuity and a
beep will sound.
4. If "OL." (for overload) is indicated on the display, you have
exceeded the measuring range or the measuring circuit has
been interrupted.
5. After the measurement has been completed, remove the test
leads from the object being measured and turn the DMM off.
