Continuity(Resistance) Tests; Test Procedure - KYORITSU KEW 6016 Instruction Manual

7. CONTINUITY (RESISTANCE) TESTS
WARNING
Ensure that circuits to be tested are not live.
Disconnect the instrument from the circuit under test before operating the function
switch.
To select the low resistance range select 'CONTINUITY'.

7.1 Test Procedure

The object of continuity testing is to measure only the resistance of the parts of the wiring
system under test. This measurement should not include the resistance of any test leads
used. The resistance of the test leads needs to be subtracted from any continuity
measurement. The KEW6016 is provided with a continuity null feature which allows
automatic compensation for any test lead resistance.
You should only use the test leads supplied with the instrument.
