Figure 3-4. DC Voltage Measurement
Measuring Resistance
Caution
To avoid possible damage to the meter or to
the equipment under test, disconnect circuit
power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before measuring resistance.
Resistance is an opposition to current flow. The unit of
resistance is the ohm (
Ω
). The meter measures resistance
by sending a small current through the circuit.
The meter’s resistance ranges are 500.00 
Ω
, 5.0000 k

, and
500.0 M

.
To measure resistance, set up the meter as shown in
Figure 3-5.
All pushbutton functions are available with resistance
measurements. The blue key cycles to continuity and
conductance measurement, which are described later in
this chapter.
Note
In the Ohms Mode, a negative sign (-) on the
display indicates the presence of voltage. This
will cause reading errors.
