2.6 Continuity Measurements
DL-1060 uses 1k
Ω range for the con
tinuity measurement. The meter beeps when the
test resistance is less than the threshold resistance. The default threshold resistance
is 10Ω, but user can set the threshold resistance to anything between 1Ω and 1
k
Ω.
The resistance value set by user is stored in a volatile memory and will be cleared
after the meter has been turned off. The source current for the continuity
measurement is 1mA.
The maximum input voltage allowed is 1000 V
(peak). Applying
excess voltage may damage the meter and cause unpredictable
hazards.
How to measure the continuity
1.
Connect the test leads to the terminals on the front panel as shown in
Figure 2-8
.
2.
Connect test leads to your source signal.
3.
Press CONT button.
4.
Set RESOLUTION (refer to 3.1.3 Resolution & NPLC Setting) or skip this step to
use the default setting.
5.
The result will be shown on the display automatically. Meter “beeps” when
measured resistance value is lower than threshold value.
