PROCEDURE
1. Very often one can use a VOM to check quickly whether a diode
is good or bad. Unless they have a specific function for this pur-
pose, most DMMs are not able to perform this test properly.
Using your VOM as an ohmmeter, first select a low-resistance
meter range, such as the "R × 100" range. Then connect the
positive lead of the VOM to the diode's anode terminal while
the negative lead is connected to the diode's cathode termi-
nal, as shown in Figure 1-2A. (Most diodes have a single col-
ored band, several bands, the diode symbol, or the letter "K"
at one end to indicate the cathode terminal.) The VOM's inter-
nal battery then forward biases the diode. Note the resistance
reading.
If a DMM with a " diode check" feature is used, the dis-
play usually indicates the voltage drop across a good diode from
anode to cathode when it is forward biased. When reverse bi-
ased, the DMM generally indicates some form of out-of-range
condition, such as a blinking display or the letters "OL."
