Continuity Test - Westfalia DT268 Instruction Manual

• If a value of up to 3 V is displayed, the component is functional in forward
direction. The forward voltage is displayed. If overflow "1" is displayed, the
diode is defective.
• Now turn the diode around (red + to the cathode and black - to the anode).
If overflow "1" is displayed, the diode correctly blocks. It is functional in
reverse direction. If the unit displays any voltage, the diode is defective.

Continuity Test

With this function you can check electrical circuits, cables or components for
continuity.
Attention!
Do not perform continuity tests on voltage-carrying components or circuitry.
Measuring Procedure
• Make sure the component or circuit you intend to measure is voltage free.
• Set the rotary function switch (4) to
• Connect the black measuring cable to the COM input (7) and the red
measuring cable to the V/Ω input (6). Now connect the measuring tips to
the component of circuitry.
• An acoustic signal sounds if the resistance is lower than 30 Ω, confirming
that the component or the circuit has passed the continuity test.
