2. Press T to display the measured temperature as shown below.
To change the temperature scale, refer to the "Setting the Default Temperature Scale"
section in Chapter 3 of this manual. Available scales are Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
Refer to the "Adjusting the Meter's Range" section in Chapter 3 of this manual for
information on how to adjust the measurement range.

Testing Continuity

Continuity testing determines whether a circuit is intact (i.e., has a resistance less than the
threshold). The threshold is selectable between 1 and 1000 .
To perform a continuity test:
1. Press S on the 4050 or Q on the 4040. An example of the continuity display is
Connect the test leads as shown in Figure 4-1.
The Beeper cannot be disabled in continuity. Pressing BEEPER OFF turns
off the beeper for errors.

F1
Switches the measurement input connectors to 4-wire measurement
4Wire
for 4-wire RTDs. 4-wire RTDs make more accurate measurements.
Default RTD type. All coefficients are predefined.
RTD 385
Used to select a different value of RTD resistance at 0 C.
RO
Used to set the first coefficient of the Calendar-Van Dusen equation.
ALPHA
Cycles the secondary display through the measurement functions
2ND MEA
listed below and then off.
OHMS - Displays the resistance of the RTD. 2-wire resistance is used
when in 2-wire temperature mode and 4-wire resistance when the
Meter is in 4-wire RTD mode.
