Accessories Continuity Check Circuit Connection: APO RPM APO RPM Hz Hz To Verify Continuity: A continuity test ensures that all circuit connections are intact. 1. Plug the black test lead into the COM port and the red test lead into the VΩHz port. 2. Set the rotary switch to the Ω position. 3. Press the blue button until is shown in the display. 4. Connect the test leads to the circuit to be measured. The buzzer will sound if the resistance of the circuit measured is lower than 30Ω.
