C. CHECKING THE CONTINUITY MEASUREMENT

The continuity or low resistance measures the resistance

in TEST BOX has three low value resistors for precision

measurement.

Many testers have a null function to zero out this leads

resistance exactly before making measurement. The instruction

shall show how to use this function.

First, null out test lead resistance if your tester has no null

function.

The reading obtained with the test leads shorted together and

take this reading off all other readings

AC IN 501-lz 

210-250V

Connect the test leads to the "common" and the "2 Ohm" 

terminal as shown above. Select the lowest range on the tester 

and record the reading on the tester. 

Allow readings from 1.900 to 2.100, ± 0.050. 

Connect the test leads to the "common" and the "10 Ohm" 

terminal. Select the lowest range on the tester and record the 

reading on the tester. 

Allow readings from 9.800 to 10.200, ± 0.050. 

Connect the test leads to the "common" and the "0.5 Ohm" 

terminal. Select the lowest range on the tester and record the 

reading on the tester. 

Allow readings from 0.450 to 0.550, ± 0.050.
