Touch the test probes to the diode under test
■
Forward voltage will typically indicate 0.400
to 0.700 V. Reverse voltage will indicate "OL".
Measurements
Warning:
Risk of Electrocution. Before use, always test the
Voltage Detector on a known live circuit to verify
proper operation.
■
Touch the probe tip to the hot conductor or insert
into the hot side of the electrical outlet.
■
If AC voltage is present, the detector light will
illuminate.
Note
:
The conductors in electrical cord sets are often
twisted. For best results, rub the probe tip along a
length of the cord to assure placing the tip in close
proximity to the live conductor.
The detector is designed with high sensitivity. Static
electricity or other sources of energy may randomly
trip the sensor. This is normal operation.
Hold button
The Data Hold function allows the meter to "freeze" a
measurement for later reference.
■
Press the "DATA HOLD" button to "freeze" the
display, the "HOLD" indicator will appear.
■
Press the "DATA HOLD" button to return to normal
operation.

Shorted devices will indicate near 0 V and an open
device will indicate "OL" in both polarities.
