Continuity function is convenient for checking wiring connections and operation of
switches. A continuous beep tone indicates a complete wire.
CAUTION
Using resistance and continuity function in a live circuit will produce false results and may
damage the instrument. In many cases the suspected component must be disconnected
from the circuit to obtain an accurate reading

readings. Last selection will be saved as
power up default for repeat measurement convenience.
Note: Be sure to insert the banana plug type-K temperature bead probe Bkp60 with correct
polarities. You can also use a plug adapter Bkb32 (Optional purchase) with banana
pins to type-K socket to adapt other standard type-K mini plug temperature probes.
Capacitance, Diode test functions
Press the SELECT button momentarily to select the subject functions in sequence. Last
selection will be saved as power up default for repeat measurement convenience.
CAUTION
