Making Measurements
Testing for Continuity
To avoid possible damage to the multimeter or to the equipment-under-test,
CAUTION
disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
measuring continuity. Use the DC voltage function to confirm that the
capacitor is fully discharged.
Set up your multimeter to test for continuity as shown in Figure 2-10. Probe the
test points and read the display.
Table 2-7
The continuity test features a beeper that sounds and a red LED indicator that
NOTE
lights up as long as a circuit is incomplete or broken. The audible and visual
alerts allow you to perform quick continuity tests without having to watch the
display.
In continuity, a short means a measured value is less than the threshold resistance
values listed in Table 2-8. Press
