Continuity Testing and Resistance Measurement
Attention !
Be absolutely certain that the device under test is
voltage-free.
7.1
Continuity Testing
*
Verify that device under test is electrically dead.
*
Set the function selector switch to “
” position.
*
If required null lead resistance by doing Zero adjustment below.
*
Connect the device under test as shown in diagram.
*
The measured resistance value will be displayed on the display.
*
The instrument
generates
a continuous
sound signal
if
the measured resistance value is less than the pre-setted
“GoNoGO” value. Default value is 5
W
Refer to the “11. Menu structure” section for how to set the value
for the limit value.
7.2
Low Ohm Measurement ( )
W
*
Verify that device under test is electrically dead.
*
Set the function selector switch to “
” position.
W
*
If required null lead resistance by doing zero adjustment below.
*
Connect the device under test as shown in diagram
*
The measured resistance value will be displayed on the display.
*
The instrument generates a continuous sound signal if the
measured resistance value is less than the pre-setted
“GoNoGO” value. Default value is 0
W
Refer to the “11. Menu structure” section for how to set the
value for the limit value.
7.3
Zero adjustment
When measuring very low resistance values, you can eliminate
resistance of leads and contact resistance by zero adjustment.
*
Connect the test leads to instrument and connect the free ends of
the leads to one another.
*
Wait for reading to stabilize.
*
Briefly
press
the
“TEST”
push
button.
The
instrument
acknowledges
zero
adjustment
by a sound
signal
and
the LCD shows “0.00” (+1digit) and the symbol “ZERO” (17) is
displayed.The resistance measured at the instant the push button
is pressed is used as reference value (0-9.99 ). It is automatically
W
deducted from the values measured thereafter.
*
Zero adjustment can be cleared.
Ø
By pressing the “TEST” button once again.
Ø
By switching the instrument off.
Also zero adjustment is cleared when Auto shutOFF operates.
Additional features available in Ohm and Continuity ranges.
1.
Pre-selectable limit checks (Go/Nogo option)
2.
Storing the measured resistance value.
3.
Minimum and Maximum value “MIN/MAX” storage.
