Testing for Continuity
Caution
To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all
Continuity is the presence of a complete path for current flow. The continuity test features a beeper that sounds if a circuit is complete. The beeper allows you to perform quick continuity tests without having to watch the display.
To test for continuity, set up the meter as shown in Figure 3.
Press Tto turn the continuity beeper on or off.
The continuity function detects intermittent opens and shorts lasting as little as 1 millisecond (0.001 second). These brief contacts cause the meter to emit a short beep.
