Testing Continuity of a Cable/Wire Circuit
Use only on non-energized circuit.
Do not connect to AC or DC voltage circuit in “Cont” mode.
Before connecting to an unknown cable/wire to the Net
Toner in “Cont” mode, use the OFF/LINE mode to check and
ensure that cable/wire are not powered. Connecting the live
powered cable in “Cont” mode may damage the Net Toner
or cause erroneous results.
1. With the left slide switch in “Cont/Talk” position
and right slide switch in “Cont” position.
2. Connect the red and black clips to both ends of the
cable/wire that you want to test.
3) The “Cont” LED indicator will light green. Bright green
indicates a low resistance path. Dim green indicates a
high resistance path. No Light, indicates an open
circuit.
4) When a short circuit is detected, the “Cont” LED indicator will
light green.
5) Move the left slide switch to “OFF/LINE” position when
finished to avoid draining battery of clips touch during
storage.
