Continuity Measurement (cont'd)

Continuity Measuring

1. Set the rotary switch to
2. Press the u button to display the measurement current. The measuremnt current appears blinking
on the LCD. You can change the current by pressing the u button
3. Use the leads to connect the instrument to the system to be tested. The system to be tested must
be powered down.
The instrument displays the resistance and the current used in the test. To obtain a continuity value per
standard IEC 61557:

1. Take the measurement at 200 mA and note its
value, R1.
2. Reverse the leads and note the value, R2.
3. Calculate the mean:
