3.6.1 Connections

Assuming the multimeter is under factory default conditions, the basic procedure to measure continuity

is as follows:

1. Connect test leads to and COM terminals.

2. Select Continuity measurement function by pressing → .

3. Connect test leads to the resistance under test as shown in Figure 3-5.

4. Take reading from the display

Figure 3-5 Continuity Measurement

Note: Source current flows from the to COM terminals.

3.7 Testing Diode

The multimeter can also be used to measure the forward voltage drop of general-purpose diodes and

zener diodes. A current range of 0.5 mA will be selected for diode measurement.

Note: Diode test uses medium reading rate and is fixed.

3.7.1 Connections

Assuming the multimeter is under factory default conditions, the basic procedure to test a diode is as
