Resistance/Continuity Tests
In Ohm test, press
button momentarily to set continuity function
ON. The
sign will be lit and lock the range to 500
Ω
. Then
connect the test leads and across the tested circuit as shown in Figure
2-8. While testing continuity, the beeper will sound if the resistance is
less than 10
Ω
.
For other ranges, the beeper will sound if the resistance
falls below the typical values indicated in Table 2-2.
