Audible Continuity
For the 500 Ω range, the beeper will emit a sound if the
resistance value falls below 10 Ω. For other ranges, the
beeper will emit a sound if the resistance falls below the
typical values listed in the table below.
Table 2- 2 Audible continuity measurement range
Measurement range Beeper sound threshold
500.00 Ω < 10 Ω
5.0000 kΩ < 100 Ω
50.000 kΩ < 1 kΩ
500.00 kΩ < 10 kΩ
5.0000 MΩ < 100 kΩ
50.000 MΩ < 1 MΩ
500.00 MΩ < 10 MΩ
When testing continuity, you can choose to test either short continuity or
open continuity.
• By default, the multimeter is set to short continuity.
• Press to select open continuity.
