Continuity Testing - POWER PRO BETEK Power Probe 3EZ Manual De Instrucciones

CONTINUITY TESTING

While the PP3EZ is in Voltmeter Mode, and by using the Pow-
er Probe tip in connection with chassis ground or the auxiliary
ground lead, continuity can be tested on wires and compo-
nents attached or disconnected from the vehicle's electrical
system.
The PP3EZ indicates continuity using 2 resistance levels.
When the Power Probe tip has a resistance to ground less
than 20K Ohms but greater than approx. 650 Ohms the LCD
will indicate "00.0" volts but no Green "-" LED. But when the
resistance to ground less than approx. 650 Ohms the LCD will
indicate "00.0" volts and also the Green "-" LED. The higher
resistance continuity function is useful for checking Spark Plug
Wires, (disconnected from ignition) Solenoids and magnetic
pickup coils, and the lower resistance continuity for testing re-
lay coils and wiring. However the best way to prove continuity
of connections to either Ground or Battery is to power up the
connection using the Power Switch. If the Circuit Breaker trips
you know that you have a good solid low resistance connec-
tion.
