Resistance Testing
WARNING
To avoid damaging the multimeter or
the object being measured, ALWAYS
disconnect the circuit power and
discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before measuring resistance.
1. Insert the black lead into the COM
terminal, and the red test lead in to the
terminal. [Figure 1.1]
2. Turn the rotary dial to .
3. Connect the test leads to the object being
measured. Hold them in place until the
readings on the display stabilize.
Note:
The LCD will read “ “ if there is an
open-circuit for the tested resistor or
if the resistor value is higher than the
maximum range of the multimeter.
When testing high-resistance objects, it is
normal to wait for several seconds before
receiving a stable reading (>1MΩ). To
obtain a stable reading, use the test leads
for the shortest time possible.
If the resistance reading with the
connected test leads is not
0.5Ω, check
if the leads are loose or damaged.
The maximum resistance rating for the
multimeter is 200MΩ.
