Testing for Continuity
The continuity function lets you test for opens and shorts
on the 8-pin modular jack or the coaxial connector. The
tester shows a bar graph of resistance from 500
Ω
to
5000
Ω
, and the tester’s audible tones vary depending on
the resistance measured.
On an 8-pin jack, the tester checks for continuity
between the wires in the pair you select. Pair 12 is the
default.
To check continuity:
1 Verify that the circuit to be tested is not powered or
in service. For cabling, use
DISCOVER mode to check
for active services. For other types of circuits or
components, use a voltage meter to check for
power.
2 Turn the rotary switch to DIAG .
3 Use
D
to highlight Continuity ; then press
H
,
J , or P .
4 To check continuity using the coaxial connector,
press
K c .
5 Connect the tester to the circuit, component, or
cabling to be tested. Figure 23 shows connections
using the optional 8-clip test lead.
