Figure 9. Continuity and Continuity Zero
Display/Switch and Terminal Settings
A continuity test is used to verify the integrity of
connections by making a high resolution resistance
measurement. This is especially important for checking
Protective Earth connections.
Note
In locales where electrical circuits are laid out in a
ring, it is recommended that you make an
end-to-end check of the ring at the electrical
panel.
XW Warning
• Measurements should only be performed
on de-energized circuits.
• Measurements may be adversely affected
by impedances or parallel circuits or
transient currents.
To measure continuity
1. Turn the rotary switch to the R
LO
position.
2. Use the L and PE (red and green) terminals for this
test.
