Overview
This Operating Manual covers information on safety and
cautions. Please read the relevant information carefully
and observe all the Warnings and Notes strictly.
Digital Inductance Capacitance Meter Model 72-8155
(hereafter referred to as ìthe Meterî) is a 3 1/2 digits with
steady operations, fashionable design and highly reliable
hand-held measuring instrument.
The Model 72-8155 will measure capacitance, inductance,
resistance, transistor hFE and test diodes. It will also test
continuity with an audible buzzer.

Safety Information
This Meter complies with the standards EMC EN61326.
Use the Meter only as specified in this operating manual,
otherwise the protection provided by the Meter may be
impaired.
In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions and actions
that pose hazards to the user, and may damage the Meter
or the equipment under test.
A Note identifies the information that user should pay
attention to.
International electrical symbols used on the Meter and in
this Operating Manual are explained on page 7.

T o avoid damage to the Meter or to the devices under
test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all the
high-voltage capacitors before measuring diodes and
continuity.
Warning
Testing Diodes
Insert the red test clip into the terminal and
the black test clip into the COM terminal.
Set the rotary switch to .
For forward voltage drop readings on any semiconductor
component, place the red test clip on the componentís
anode and place the black test clip on the componentís
cathode.
The display shows the diode forward voltage dropís
nearest value.

3.
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 500mV and 800mV.
To test a diode out of a circuit, connect the Meter as follows:
