6−3−2 Continuity Check
①
Set the function selector switch to the "
Ω
/ "
position.
②
Slide the terminal cover to the left. Plug the red test lead into the V/
Ω
terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal.
③
Press the mode button to set the instrument to the continuity check
mode. The measuring range is fixed to 400
Ω
and the "
" symbol
is shown on the display.
④
Short the tip of the test leads and make sure that the display reads
"0" and the buzzer beeps.
⑤
Connect the tip of the test leads to the circuit under test. The
display reads the resistance and the buzzer beeps when the
reading is not more than about 50
Ω
.
NOTE
●
When shorting the tip of the test leads, the display may read a very
small resistance instead of "0". This is the resistance of the test
leads, not a fault.
●
If one of the test leads is open, the display reads "OL".
