Warning Never attempt an in-circuit current measurement where the voltage between terminals and ground is greater than 60V . If the fuse burns out during measurement, the Meter may be damaged or the operator may be injured. Use proper terminals, function, and range for the measurement. When the test leads are connected to the current terminals, do not parallel them across any circuit. Measurement Operation (4) (figure 4) To measure current, do the following: 1. Turn off power to the circuit. Discharge all high- voltage capacitors. black red 17 Model 72-7765: OPERATING MANUAL

2. Insert the red test lead into the VΩmA or 10A terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal. 3. Set the rotary switch to an appropriate measurement position in A range. DC measurement is default or press SELECT button to select DC measurement mode. 4. Break the current path to be tested. Connect the red test lead to the more positive side of the break and the black test lead to the more negative side of the break. 5. Turn on power to the circuit. The measured value shows on the display. Note l If the value of current to be measured is unknown, use the maximum measurement position (10A) and reduce the range step by step until a satisfactory reading is obtained. l When current measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing leads and the circuit under test. 18 Model 72-7765: OPERATING MANUAL

19 D. AC Current Measurement (see figure 4) Warning Never attempt an in-circuit current measurement where the open-circuit voltage between the circuit and ground is greater than 500V. If the fuse burns out during measurement, the Meter may be damaged or the operator may be injured. Use proper terminals function, and range for the measurement. When the test leads are connected to the current terminals, do not parallel them across any circuit. 1. Turn off power to the circuit. Discharge all high-voltage capacitors. 2. Turn the rotary switch to suitable range, press SELECT to change from DC to AC measurement. 3. Insert the red test lead into the VΩmA or 10A terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal. 4. Set the rotary switch to an appropriate measurement position in A range. Model 72-7765: OPERATING MANUAL

20 5. Break the current path to be tested. Connect the red test lead to the more positive side of the break and the black test lead to the more negative side of the break. 6. Turn on power to the circuit. The measured value shows on the display. Model 72-7765: OPERATING MANUAL

(figure 5) black red 21 E. Resistance Measurement (see figure 5) Warning To avoid damage to the Meter or to the devices under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all the high-voltage capacitors before measuring resistance. The Ω ranges are : 400.0Ω, 4.000kΩ, 40.00kΩ, 400.0kΩ, 4.000MΩ, and 40.00MΩ, 1. Insert the red test lead into the VΩmA terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal. 2. Set the rotary switch to the Ω range. 3. Connect the test leads across with the object being measured. The measured value shows on the display. Model 72-7765: OPERATING MANUAL

22 Note l The test leads can add 0.1Ω to 0.3Ω of error to resistance measurement. To obtain precision readings in low-resistance measurement, that is the range of 200Ω, short-circuit the input terminals beforehand and record the reading obtained (called this reading as X). (X) Is the additional resistance from the test lead. Then use the equation: measured resistance value (Y) - (X) = precision readings of resistance. l For high-resistance measurement (>1MΩ), it normally requires several seconds to obtain a stable reading. l When resistance measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing leads and the circuit under test. Model 72-7765: OPERATING MANUAL

(figure 6) 23 F. Diode and Continuity Test (see figure 6) Testing Diodes Warning To avoid damage to the Meter or to the devices under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all the high-voltage capacitors before diodes. Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, and other semiconductor devices. The diode test sends a current through the semiconductor junction, and then measures the voltage drop across the junction. A good silicon junction drops between 0.5V and 0.8V. black red Model 72-7765: OPERATING MANUAL

24 To test a diode out of a circuit, connect the Meter as follows: 1. Insert the red test lead into the VΩmA terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal. 2. Set the rotary switch to Diode measurement is default or press SELECT button to select diode measurement mode. 3. For forward voltage drop readings on any semiconductor component, place the red test lead on the component’s anode and place the black test lead on the component’s cathode. The measured value shows on the display. Note l In a circuit, a good diode should still produce a forward voltage drop reading of 0.5V to 0.8V; however, the reverse voltage drop reading can vary depending on the resistance of other pathways between the probe tips. l Connect the test leads to the proper terminals as said above to avoid error display. The LCD will display “OL” indicating open-circuit for wrong connection. The unit of diode is Volt (V), displaying the positive-connection voltage-drop value. Model 72-7765: OPERATING MANUAL

25 l When diode testing has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing leads and the circuit under test. Testing for Continuity To test for continuity, connect the Meter as below: 1. Insert the red test lead into the VΩ mA terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal. 2. Set the rotary switch to . 3. Press SELECT button to select continuity measurement mode. 4. Connect the test leads across with the object being measured. The buzzer sounds if the resistance of a circuit under test is less than 100Ω. Model 72-7765: OPERATING MANUAL

(figure 7) 26 G. Transistor hFE Measurement (see figure 7) Warning To avoid damages to the Meter or to the devices under test, do not input any current over 60V DC or 30V AC. 1.
