Measuring Resistance And Continuity; Measuring Capacitance And Diode - Amprobe ACD-14-PRO User Manual

Measuring Resistance and Continuity

W Warning
To avoid electrical shock and injury:
• To avoid false readings and electrical shock and injury, de-energize the
circuit before taking the measurement.
• To avoid electrical shock when testing resistance/continuity in a circuit,
make sure the power to the circuit is turned off and all capacitors are
discharged. Use DC voltage function to check the capacitors are discharged.
1. Connect the black test lead to the COM terminal and the red test lead
to the Ω terminal.
2. Turn the rotary switch to
3. Press SELECT button switch between Ω and
4. Connect the probes across the circuit or component to be tested.
5. View the reading at the lower display
Resistance measurement: The resistance reading shows on the lower
display. If the circuit is open or resistance exceeds the meter's range, the
display reads "OL".
Continuity measurement: The resistance reading shows on the lower
display. If the circuit is shorted, the meter beeps (Beeper ON ≤ 10 Ω, OFF
>250 Ω). If the circuit is open or resistance exceeds the meter's range,
the display reads OL.
