Continuity Check - Textron GREENLEE 5878 Manuel D'instructions

Typical Measurements

Continuity Check

1. Set the selector to the 20 Ω position.
2. Connect the test leads across the device to be tested.
3. The display indicates the resistance of the circuit or component, or OL if the resistance is greater
than 20 Ω. The internal fuse is automatically tested during the continuity check.
Models 5880 and 5882 only:
To improve the accuracy of the continuity measurement, compensate for the resistance of the test
leads as follows:
1. Connect the test leads together.
2. Press and hold j until
tance from the continuity measurement.
3. To cancel this compensation, press and hold j until

(Models 5880 and 5882 only)
1. Set the selector to the 400 kΩ position.
2. Connect the test leads across the device to be tested.
3. The display indicates the resistance of the circuit or
