Continuity test
Continuous low-value resistance measurements can be performed without pole reversal of the test
voltages and a lower test current (a few mA). In general, the function serves as an ordinary Ω-
meter with low-test current. The function can also be used to test inductive components such as
motors and coiled cables.
How to perform low current continuity measurement
Step 1
Select the
Continuity
function with the FCT key and select the
Cont
mode with the

navigation keys.
Step 3
Connect test cable to the instrument and the item under test. Follow the connection
diagram shown in figures 5.10 and 5.11 to perform the
Continuity
measurement.
