WARNING
To avoid damages to the meter or to the devices under test, discon-
nect the circuit power and discharge all high voltage capacitors before
taking diode test.
Set the rotary switch to
Note
• Make sure there is no Voltage in the circuit or device under test.
• When testing a commom silicon diode in good conditions, the voltage
drop with direct bias must be between 0.5V and 0.8V approximately,
while with reverse bias, the indication must be the overrange (OL).
