Read Resistance & Check Continuity
Choose this function to measure resistance or check continuity.
Move the power switch w to READ then Double Click the
EZ-DIAL knob to get into the Double Click Menu. Turn the knob
to scroll through the settings and press the knob to make your
selection. Select OHMS for the FUNCTION, 400Ω, 4000Ω or
Continuity for the RANGE. You must also select the WIRE
MODE for 2W, 3W or 4W to match the 2, 3 or 4 wires being used
to measure resistance. For continuity the only choice is 2W.
Disconnect all wires from the sensor and connect the PIE
820-ELITE to the inputs of the device using 2, 3 or 4 wires.
If continuity is selected, resistance is measured up to 400.0Ω.
The beeper will sound and
) ) )
) appears on the display when
resistances below 100.0Ω are measured.
Signals above the maximum scale are limited by protection
circuitry with “OVERRANGE” flashed on the display and the red
OVERLOAD LED lit.
The PIE 820-ELITE measures the input signal and constantly
updates the display with the current reading. Move the
EZ-CHECK switch
q to MAX to see the highest reading and to
MIN to see the lowest reading. Press and hold the knob e to
clear the MAX and MIN readings.
