Testing for Continuity

Figure 2-11 Closed continuity display
CAUTION
To avoid possible damage to your clamp meter or to the equipment
under test, disconnect the circuit power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before testing for continuity.
NOTE
Continuity is the presence of a complete path for current flow. The
continuity test features a beeper that sounds and a backlight that flashes
as long as a circuit is complete. The audible and visual alert allows you to
perform quick continuity tests without having to watch the display.
