Measuring Continuity
Model DMM uses the 1kΩ range to measure circuit continuity. A threshold resistance level (1Ω to 1000Ω)
should be set and factory default value is 10Ω. Multimeter alerts you with a beep when a reading is below
the set level.
Note:
Continuity has a non-selectable reading rate of FAST (0.1 PLC).

Connections
Assuming Model DMM is under factory default conditions, the basic procedure is as follows:
1. Connect test leads to the INPUT HI and LO terminals.
2. Select Continuity measurement function by pressing Cont .
3. Connect test leads to the resistance under test as shown in Figure 3-5.
4. Take a reading from the display

Threshold resistance level
You can define a threshold resistance from 1Ω to 1000Ω. Factory default value is 10Ω. Follow the steps
below to define the resistance level:
