Continuity Testing
1. Set the function switch to
range position.
2. Press the
MODE
button to select the Continuity Test range.
The meter automatically defaults to Resistance.
3. Insert the red test lead into the “
V Ω TEMP HZ
” input terminal
and the black lead to the “
COM
” terminal.
4. Short the tip of the test leads and make sure the display reads “0”
and the buzzer beeps.
5. Connect the tip of the test leads to the circuit or component under
test. The display reads the resistance and the buzzer beeps when the
reading is not more than about 35Ω.
Notes:
• Using resistance and continuity function in a live circuit will produce
false results and may damage the instrument.
• In may cases the suspicious components must be disconnected from
the circuit under test to obtain accurate results.
•
WARNING
before attempting to make a test, ensure there is no
voltage present on the circuit.
