3.4 Measuring Resistance

Resistance measurement range: 120

Ω, 1.2 kΩ, 12 kΩ, 120 kΩ, 1.2 MΩ, 12 MΩ, 120 MΩ

Maximum resolution: 1

mΩ (on 120 Ω range)

3.4.1 Connections

Assuming the multimeter is under factory default conditions, the basic procedure for measuring

resistance is as follows:

1. Connect test leads to the multimeter as follows:

A: For

Ω2-wire, connect the test leads to INPUT HI and LO.

B: For

Ω4-wire, connect the test leads to INPUT HI and LO, and SENSE Ω 4W HI and LO. Kelvin

test probes are recommended for this setup.

2. Select

Ω 2-wire or Ω 4-wire measurement function by pressing

or

→

respectively.

3. Press

to toggle between auto and manual ranging. Notice the AUTO annunciator is

displayed with auto ranging. For manual range, use the RANGE and keys to select a

measurement range.

4. Connect test leads to the resistance as shown in Figure 3-3:

CAUTION: Do not apply more than 1000 V peak

between

INPUT HI and LO or it will damage the

instrument

5.

If the “OVR.FLW” message is displayed, press up key to select a higher range until a normal

reading is displayed (or press

key for auto ranging). Use the lowest possible range for the

best resolution.

6. The measured reading is displayed.

To remove, use a flat head screw driver or a coin to

insert into the slid and turn counter-clockwise to

open. Similarly to put back the fuse box, push the

box down and turn clockwise.
