5.12. Continuity check
Warning:
To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity on circuits or wires
that have voltage on them.
1.
Set the function switch to the "
/ *))) " position.
2.
Insert the black test lead into the negative COM jack and the
red test lead into the positive V/
jack.
3.
Press the "RANGE" push button until the "
)))" symbol
appears in the display.
4.
Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or wire you wish to
check.
5.
If the resistance is less than 100 ohms, the audible signal will
sound. The display will also show the actual resistance.
5.13. Non-Contact Voltage (NCV) - Detector
The NCV function works on any rotary switch position.
1.
Test the detector on a known live circuit before use.
2.
Hold the top of the meter very close to the voltage
source as shown.
3.
If voltage is present, the rim of the LCD display will
flash a bright red.
Note:
The NCV detector works from approx. 50V / 50Hz or higher.
