Testing฀for฀Continuity฀
The฀continuity฀function฀lets฀you฀test฀for฀opens฀and฀shorts฀
on฀the฀8-pin฀modular฀jack฀or฀the฀coaxial฀connector.฀The฀
tester฀shows฀a฀bar฀graph฀of฀resistance฀from฀500฀Ω฀to฀
5000฀Ω,฀and฀the฀tester’s฀audible฀tones฀vary฀depending฀on฀
the฀resistance฀measured.฀
On฀an฀8-pin฀jack,฀the฀tester฀checks฀for฀continuity฀
between฀the฀wires฀in฀the฀pair฀you฀select.฀Pair฀12฀is฀the฀
default.฀
To฀check฀continuity:฀
1 Verify฀that฀the฀circuit฀to฀be฀tested฀is฀not฀powered฀or฀
in฀service.฀For฀cabling,฀use฀DISCOVER฀mode฀to฀check฀
for฀active฀services.฀For฀other฀types฀of฀circuits฀or฀
components,฀use฀a฀voltage฀meter฀to฀check฀for฀
power.฀
2 Turn฀the฀rotary฀switch฀to฀DIAG.฀
3 Use฀
D฀to฀highlight฀Continuity;฀then฀press฀H,฀
J,฀or฀P.฀
4 To฀check฀continuity฀using฀the฀coaxial฀connector,฀
press฀
K฀c.฀
5 Connect฀the฀tester฀to฀the฀circuit,฀component,฀or฀
cabling฀to฀be฀tested.฀Figure฀23฀shows฀connections฀
using฀the฀optional฀8-clip฀test฀lead.฀
