Local Continuity Test
Using only the Main Unit you can test in-wall wiring at different locations
in the same room. Other applications include; test fuses, bulbs, relay
contacts, switches, diodes and circuit breakers, etc.
1. Turn on the Main Unit, the power LED lights green. If the power LED
does not light, replace battery.
2. To check same room wiring runs, attach the red and black clips of
the Main Unit to two wires on one end of the multi-wire cable under
test and let the Main Unit hang on wires.
3. Go to other end of same cable and momentarily connect two wires
of the cable together.
4. When continuity is found, the Main Unit will beep and the continuity
LED will ash red.
5. To test other devices, connect the Main Unit’s leads to device ter-
minals in any* lead orientation (red or black). If device has internal
electrical connection, the Main Unit will beep and the continuity
LED will ash red indicating continuity.
*Exception
When you test a diode, the Main Unit’s red lead is positive and the Main
Unit will indicate continuity when the red lead is connected to the anode
of the diode and the black lead is connected to the cathode of the diode.
If the connections are reversed and the diode is good, the Main Unit will
not indicate continuity.
