Warning
To avoid harms to you, please do not attempt to
input voltage higher than 60V DC or 30V AC.

To avoid possible damages to the Meter or to the

devices under test, disconnect circuit power and
discharge all the high-voltage capacitors before
measuring resistance.
To measure resistance, set up the Meter as shown in
Figure 3-10 and follow the following procedure:

1. Insert the red test lead into the terminal and the
black test lead into the COM terminal.

 Model UT804: OPERATING MANUAL

Note
l When measuring low resistance, the test leads can
add 0.1 to 0.2 of error to resistance measurement.
To test the leads, touch the probe tips together and
read the resistance of the leads. If necessary, you
can press REL ∆ to automatically subtract this value.
l For high-resistance measurement (>1M ), it is
normal taking several seconds to obtain a stable
reading. In order to obtain precision readings, use
the test lead as short as possible.
l The LCD displays OL indicating open-circuit or the
tested resistor value is higher than the maximum
range of the Meter.
l When testing the resistance signal from the calibrator,
it is necessary to press and hold the RANGE while
turning on the Meter to change the maximum display
to 4000 counts but the accuracy remains unchanged.
l When resistance measurement has been completed,
disconnect the connection between the testing leads
