2-36 Basic Measurements

Measuring continuity

The Model 2010 uses the 1kΩ range to measure circuit continuity. After selecting continuity,
the unit prompts you for a threshold resistance level (1Ω-1000Ω). The Model 2010 alerts you
with a beep when a reading is below the set level.
To measure the continuity of a circuit, press SHIFT then CONT, set the threshold resistance
level, and connect the circuit.
NOTE

Connections

Connect the circuit you want to test to the INPUT HI and INPUT LO terminals of the
Model 2010. The test current flows from the INPUT HI as shown in
Figure 2-10

Threshold resistance level

You can define a threshold resistance from 1Ω to 1000Ω. The factory setting is 10Ω. Follow
these steps to define the resistance level:

2.
3.
Continuity has a non-selectable reading rate of FAST (0.1 PLC).
