6.4 Resistance and Continuity Measurements
Warning: Do not perform resistance or continuity tests before removing power from
capacitors and other devices under test during a measurement. Injury to persons can
occur.
Short press the MODE button to toggle Resistance and Continuity functions. The last
selection will be saved as the power-up default. Refer to the Fig. 6-4 for function switch
position, test lead connection, push-button operation, and display examples.
Figure 6-4 – Resistance and Continuity Measurements
For convenience, the Continuity function offers a continuous beep tone together
with a flashing LCD backlight indicating a complete wire. This audio-visual indication is
especially handy in noisy work environments. If the resistance is < 30Ω the meter beeps.
If the resistance is > 480Ω the meter will not beep. If the resistance is > 30Ω but < 480Ω
the beeping will stop at an unspecified point.
CAUTION
Be sure to remove power from any circuit or device before measuring resistance and
continuity. Measuring resistance and continuity on a live circuit will produce false results
and may damage the instrument.
