Pocket Multimeter 5115

 

15 

3.5. Continuity Check 

To avoid electric shock and instrument 

damage while checking continuity, 

ensure power to the circuit is OFF and all 

capacitors are discharged.

 

1. Turn the rotary switch to  .
2. Press the yellow function button. The

 icon appears on the LCD. 

3. Touch the probe tips to the desired

point in the circuit.

If there is continuity

, the circuit’s

resistance is displayed.

If the reading is under 

30Ω

, the

beeper sounds, indicating a potential

short circuit.

If the resistance is abo

ve 400Ω

,

the LCD displays 

OL

, indicating the

reading is out of range.
