Resistance and Continuity Measurements
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and the red test lead
banana plug into the V/Ω/CAP jack
2. Set the function switch to the ‘Ω ‘ position
3. Press the SELECT key momentarily to select Continuity (if required)
4. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or part under test. It is best to disconnect
one side of the part under test so the rest of the circuit will not interfere with the
resistance reading.
5. For Resistance tests, read the resistance on the display
6. For Continuity tests, if the resistance is < 20Ω, an audible tone will sound
Capacitance Measurements
1. Insert the black lead into the negative COM jack and the red test lead into the positive
CAP jack
2. Set the function switch to the ‘ CAP’ position
3. Press the SELECT key momentarily to select the Capacitance function ( if required)
4. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested and read the measured value
