5.4.2 Continuous resistance measurement with low current
In general, this function serves as standard

-meter with a low testing current. The
measurement is performed continuously without polarity reversal. The function can also be
applied for testing continuity of inductive components.

Continuous resistance measurement procedure

Select continuity function using the function selector keys.

Set sub-function to CONTINUITY using UP / DOWN keys.

Enable and set the limit (optional).

Connect test cable to the instrument.

Compensate test leads resistance if necessary, (see section 5.4.3 Compensation of test
leads resistance) .

Disconnect from mains supply and discharge the object to be tested.

Connect test leads to the tested object (see Figure 5.14 ).

Press the TEST key to begin performing a continuous measurement.

Press the TEST key to stop measurement.

After the measurement is finished store the result by pressing the MEM key (optional).
