Resistance/Continuity

Resistance is measured in Ohms(Ω) and the values can greatly vary
from a few Milliohms (mΩ) for contact resistance to millions of ohms
for insulators. The Meter can measure down to about 0.1 Ohms and
measure as high as 40MΩ.

WARNING!
TURN OFF POWER AND DISCHARGE ALL CAPACITORS ON CIRCUIT
TO BE TESTED BEFORE ATTEMPTING IN CIRCUIT RESISTANCE
MEASUREMENTS. ACCURATE MEASUREMENT IS NOT POSSIBLE
IF EXTERNAL OR RESIDUAL VOLTAGE IS PRESENT.

NOTE: The resistance in
the test leads can affect
accuracy in the 200Ω
range. Touch the tips of test
leads together and record
the reading. Subtract this
reading from any additional
measurement to obtain the
most accurate value.

To Measure Resistance:

Set the function switch to
the desired Ω range.

Insert the Black lead in
COM jack.

Insert the Red lead in the VΩRPM Jack.

Touch the test lead probes across the resistance or circuit to be
