e. Measuring Resistance
Instrument set-up:
FUNCTION
Do not attempt to make resistance measurements with
circuit energized. For best results, remove the resistor
completely from the circuit before attempting to measure
it.
NOTE:
To make accurate low ohm measurements, short the ends
of test leads together and record the resistance reading.
Deduct this value from actual readings.
Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2. Plug black test lead into the
3. Plug red test lead into
4. Set the rotary switch on the DMM to the
5.Connect the test leads to the circuit to be measured.
6. Read the resistance value on the LCD.

f. Measuring Diodes
Instrument set-up:
FUNCTION
CAUTION
Do not attempt to make diode measurements with circuit
energized. The only way to accurately test a diode is to
remove it completely from the circuit before attempting to
measure it.
Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2. Plug black test lead into the

5. Connect the black test lead to the banded end of the diode
6. Reading on the display should be between 0.5 and 0.8
7. Reading test lead connections in 5 above.
8. Reading on the display should be OFL(Overflow).
NOTE: If diode reads 0 in both directions, diode is
shorted. If diode reads OFL in both directions, diode
is open.
