2. Insert the black lead banana plug
into the negative (COM) jack
Insert the red test lead banana

approximately 150!, the audible
signal will sound. If the circuit is
open, the display will indicate “OL”.

1. Set the function switch to the
! position
2. Insert the black test lead banana
plug into the negative COM jack

diode under test. Forward voltage
will typically indicate 0.400 to
0.700mV. Reverse voltage will
indicate “OL”. Shorted devices
will indicate near 0mV. Shorted
devices will indicate near 0mV
and an open device will indicate
OL” in both polarities.
