CONTINUITY TEST
Warning :
Before performing the test, make sure that the circuit is off and any
capacitors have been discharged.
1.
Set the switch to
; the
symbol is displayed ;
2.
Connect the black lead to the COM terminal and the red lead to «+».
3.
Place the test probes or the crocodile clips on the terminals of the
circuit or component to be tested.
An audible signal is emitted if there is continuity, and the measured value is
displayed on the screen.
3.6.1
Automatic compensation of the resistance of the leads
Warning :
before the compensation is executed, the MAX/MIN and HOLD modes
must be de-activated.
To perform automatic compensation of the resistance of the leads, proceed as
follows:
1.
Short-circuit the leads connected to the device.
2.
Hold the
key down until the display unit indicates the lowest
value. The device measures the resistance of the leads.
3.
Release the
key. The correction and the
symbole are
displayed. The value displayed is stored.
Remark :
the correction value is stored only if it is
≤
2
Ω
. Above 2
Ω
, the value displayed blinks and is not stored.
