Diode Checks

Tests diodes and rectifiers for proper operation.

1) Set RANGE switch to HIGH.

2) Set FUNCTION switch to OHMS.

3) Connect TEST leads as shown in Figure 1.

( YELLOW to anode — BLACK to cathode)

4) The bottom TEST light should be ON. If a

different TEST light is on or all lights are off, the
diode is defective.

5) Reverse test lead connections as shown in

Figure 2.

( YELLOW to cathode — BLACK to anode)

6) The top TEST light should be ON. If a different

TEST light is on or all lights are off, the diode is
defective.

Note: Always make sure all connections are good. If
necessary, scrape away corrosion, paint, etc. at the
contact points.
