3.5. Measuring continuity
To avoid electrical shock and damage to the meter when
measuring resistance or continuity in a circuit, make sure the
power to the circuit is turned off and all capacitors are
discharged.
1. Turn the rotary switch to
make sure power is disconnected from the circuit to
be measured.
2. Connect the red test lead to the + terminal and the black test lead to the COM
terminal
3. Detect the continuity by touching the probes to the desired point of the circuit, if the
resistance is under 50Ω, the beeper will sound, designating a short circuit. If the
resistance is above 600Ω, the meter displays OL, designating an open circuit.
3.6. Measuring resistance
To avoid electrical shock and damage to the meter when
measuring resistance or continuity in a circuit, make sure the
power to the circuit is turned off and all capacitors are
discharged.
With the continuity mode selected, press the yellow
button once to activate the resistance measurement.
Touch with the test probes the desired point of the
circuit and read the measured resistance on the
display.
If resistance is above 60MOhm the meter will
display OL.
