Continuity Measurement

Continuity measurement measures a low resistance (< 10 or 100 Ω depending on the current)
at a high current (200 or 20 mA)
Note: A current of 20 mA reduces the power consumption of the instrument, increasing
its battery life. However, standard IEC 61558 requires 200 mA current for continuity testing.
If an external voltage >15V is detected in the system under test during the continuity
measurement, the instrument is protected without a fuse. The continuity measurement is
stopped and the instrument reports an error until the voltage disappears.
Lead Compensation
Before checking continuity, you should compensate for the resistance of the measurement
leads. This ensures that the resistance measurement excludes the resistance in the leads.
To do this, set the rotary switch to

The display changes to zero and the

there is no compensation. The compensation remains in memory until the instrument is turned OFF.
If the leads are changed with no change of compensation, the display may become negative. The
instrument reports that the compensation must be redone by displaying a blinking
To remove the compensation of the leads, leave the leads open and press the
