Press the SELECT button momentarily to select the subject functions in sequence for
models 525, 521, 829 and 827. Last selection will be saved as power up default for repeat
measurement convenience. Direct rotary switch selection on

Resistance and
Continuity functions for models 822 and 821.
Note:
Conductance is the inverse of Resistance, that is S=1/
Ω
or nS=1/G
Ω
. It virtually extends
the Resistance measurements to the order of Giga-Ohms for leakage measurements.
Continuity function is convenient for checking wiring connections and operation of
switches. A continuous beep tone indicates a complete wire.
CAUTION
Using resistance and continuity function in a live circuit will produce false results and may
damage the instrument. In many cases the suspected component must be disconnected
from the circuit to obtain an accurate reading
