7. CONTINUITY (RESISTANCE) TESTS

WARNING

Ensure that circuits to be tested are not live.

Disconnect the instrument from the circuit under test before operating the
function switch.
To select the low resistance range select
CONTINUITY.

7.1 Test Procedure
The object of continuity testing is to measure only the resistance of the parts of the
wiring system under test. This measurement should not include the resistance of any
test leads used. The resistance of the test leads needs to be subtracted from any
continuity measurement. The KEW6016 is provided with a continuity null feature which
allows automatic compensation for any test lead resistance.
You should only use the test leads supplied with the instrument.

Operation of Function Switch

F1 Switches on / off NULL function
F2 Switches on / off 2Ω buzzer
F3 N/A
F4 N/A

Proceed as follows:-
1 Select the continuity test by rotating the Rotary switch.
2 Insert the Test Leads to the L and PE terminal on KEW6016 respectively as shown in

Fig.12.

3 Connect the ends of the test leads firmly together (see Fig.13) and press and lock

down the test button. The value of the lead resistance will be displayed.
