Step 5 Check the displayed warnings and online voltage/terminal monitor before starting mea-
surement. If OK, press the TEST key. After performing, the measurement results appear
on the display together with the PASS/FAIL indication (if applicable).

5.2.2 Continuity testing (CONTINUITY)
ContinuouslowΩresistancemeasurementisperformedwithoutpolereversalofthetestvoltage
andalowertestcurrent(fewmA).Ingeneral,thisfunctionservesasanordinaryΩ-meterwithlow-
test current. The function can also be used to test inductive components.
How to perform Continuity measurement:
Step 1 Select R
LOW
-Ω,DURCHGANG/ CONTINUITY with the function selector switch. Use the
/ keys to select the Continuity function. The following menu is displayed:
