5.6. Continuity Test
Caution!
To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and
discharge all capacitors before taking any resistance measurements.
Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords.
Perform continuity tests on idle circuits and components and unplug
it from the outlet. In the circuit located capacitors should be
absolutely discharged before measuring.
1. Set the function switch to the "
Ω
/
" position.
2. Press the push button MODE to select the continuity-test.
3. Insert the black test lead into the negative
COM
jack and the red
test lead into the positive
V/
/CAP/Hz%/Temp
jack.
4.
If the resistance is less than approximately 50
Ω, the audible
signal will sound. If the circuit is open, the display will indicate
“OL”.
