Resistance Measurement
A reconfigurable divider automatically provides a suitable full scale range in resistance
measurement mode. The following table summarizes the full scale ranges and the
reference resistors in each configuration.

Continuity Check
Continuity check shares the same configuration with 400.0
manual resistance
measurement mode, but with buzzer output to indicate continuity. The buzzer generates a
2KHz sound whenever the digit number less than 25
. Because the cycle time of
measurement is only 70ms, the least significant digit will not display.
1.5
Diode Measurement
Diode measurement mode shares the same configuration with 4.000V manual voltage
measurement mode. If the test circuit is open or the voltage drop between the two ports
of the device (diode) under test is larger than 2V, the LCD panel will show “OL”. The
buzzer generates a 2KHz sound whenever the digit number is less than 0.25V. Because
the cycle time of measurement is only 70ms, the least significant digit will not display.
1.6
Auto power off
ES51983 has a default auto power off function. If the meter idles for more than 10
minutes, the chip automatically turns the power off. When this happens, the state of the
meter is saved. In order to disable auto power off function, power on the meter when
