About the Ohms Test
The OHMS key measures resistance between conductors,
or from a conductor to ground. Measurements are
displayed in ohms and points.
Measurements can fluctuate with power influence,
variations in fault resistance or C.O. battery level, or dirty
test clips (keep them clean). A rising or falling tone
indicates large resistance fluctuations.
Use the OHMS key to test the good and faulty conductors
before using the RESISTANCE FAULT LOCATE key.
Use the OHMS key with the OHMS TO DISTANCE key
to estimate the distance to a solid short or ground.
Caution
If hazardous voltage warnings are displayed when the test set is
switched on or reset (or at any time during the testing procedure)
follow standard procedures for de-energizing and discharging
cables.
