Note:
1. In order to obtain an accurate reading, a capacitor must be discharged before
measurement begins. The chip has a built-in discharge mode to automatically
discharge the capacitor. In discharge mode, the LCD displays dS.C
2. Discharging through the chip is quite slow. We recommend the user to discharge the
capacitor with some other apparatus.
1.5 Continuity Check
Continuity check shares the same configuration with 110.00Ω manual resistance
measurement mode, but with buzzer output to indicate continuity. The buzzer generates a
2KHz sound whenever the digit number is less than 30Ω. The short circuit detection is
more sensitive and the response time is less than 10ms.
1.6 Diode Measurement
Diode measurement mode shares the same configuration with 1.1000V manual voltage
measurement mode.. The buzzer generates a 2KHz sound whenever the digit number is
less than 30mV. The short circuit detection is more sensitive and the response time is
less than 10ms.
