-

Turn the DMM on and select measuring range 

. The

diode symbol appears in the display.

-

Plug the red measuring line into the Ω  measuring jack and
the black measuring line into the COM measuring jack (8) .

-

Check the measuring lines for continuity by connecting
both measuring prods with one another. The value must
be approximately 0.0000 V.

-

Now connect the two measuring prods with the object to
be measured (diode).

-

The display shows the continuity voltage “UF” in volt (V).
If “OL” appears, the diode is measured in reverse direc-
tion (UR) or the diode is faulty (interruption). Perform a
counter-pole measurement to check.

-

After measuring, remove the measuring lines from the
measured object and turn the DMM off.

-

Turn the DMM on and select measuring range 

Press “SELECT” button to switch measurement func-
tions. The symbol for continuity check now appears in the
display. Pressing this button again takes you to the first
measuring function etc.

-

Plug the red measuring line into the Ω  measuring jack and
the black measuring line into the COM measuring jack (8) . 

-

A continuity value of less than 20 Ohm is identified as
continuity; in this case a beep sounds. The measuring
range is up to 400 Ohm.

-

As soon as “OL.” (overload) appears on the display, you
have exceeded the measuring range or the measuring
circuit has been interrupted.

-

After measuring, remove the measuring lines from the
measured object and turn the DMM off.
