Measuring Continuity
WARNING!
Do not attempt to make continuity measurements with circuit
energized. Make sure the temperature probe is NOT plugged
in during this test.
Instrument set-up:
FUNC. BLACK RED
TEST LEAD
TEST LEAD
COM V/ Ω
Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2. Plug black test lead into the COM input jack.
3. Plug red test lead into V/
Ω
input jack.
4. Set the rotary switch to the position.
5. Connect test leads to circuit to be measured.
6. The 275 will beep and the LED will illuminate at
resistances of 35
Ω
or lower.
Optional Modes (See Other Features Section)
• D-H: Freezes the reading on the LCD.
Measuring DC Amperage
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to make a current measurement with the
test leads. The 275 measures the current by clamping the
jaw around one conductor (wire). Clamping around more
than one wire will result in erroneous readings. Make sure
the temperature probe is NOT plugged in during this test.

TEST LEAD TEST LEAD READING READING
NOT USED NOT USED 0.01A 400A
Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2. Set rotary switch to function.
3. Clamp the jaws around one conductor of the circuit to
be measured. For best results, center the wire in the
jaw.
4. Reconnect power to circuit to be measured.
5. Read the current on the 275.
Optional Modes (See Other Features Section)
• D-H: Freezes the reading on the LCD.
• MAX/MIN: Records minimum and maximum measure-
ments
• P-H: Displays peak amperage.
