Test continuity between two points of a circuit.
QFKMLMR`% To prevent electric shock, turn
off all power and fully discharge capacitors
in the circuit under test before measuring.
1. Plug black test lead into OIN Jack.
Plug red test lead into L8/'$ Jack.
2. Turn the Rotary Switch
to the
Turn the Rotary Switch
position.
3. Press ;PMO until is displayed.
4. Connect the test leads across
the circuit to be measured.
5. Read measured resistance on
the Display. If the measured
resistance is less than 50Ω ±
20Ω, the Meter will beep.
6. When testing is complete, turn
Rotary Switch to I;;, remove
Test Leads and store with Meter.
M&$*- If Test Leads are open or
the resistance of the circuit is out
of range, IT is displayed.
K*#"#$,84*%N*,#'(*5*8$
Measure circuit resistance up to 20M ohms.
QFKMLMR`% To prevent electric shock, turn
off all power and fully discharge capacitors
in the circuit under test before measuring.
M&$*- When measuring Ohms,
start with the lowest range if the
resistance is unknown.
1. Plug black test lead into OIN Jack.
Plug red test lead into L8/'$ Jack.
2. Turn the Rotary Switch to
the
Turn the Rotary Switch to
position. The default
position is resistance.
3. Carefully touch exposed
conductors with tips of probes.
4. Read measured resistance
on the Display.
5. When testing is complete, turn
Rotary Switch to I;;, remove
Test Leads and store with Meter.
M&$*- Sometimes the resistor value and
measured resistance differ. This is due
to the Meter’s output test current going
through all possible paths between leads.
• Keep test leads as
short as possible.
• Resistors should be
measured out of circuit.
M&$*- For resistance measurements
above 1MΩ, allow a few seconds
to get a steady reading.
M&$*- When leads are disconnected
or measurement is out of
range, IT is displayed.
