If it has many ranges, set the dial to the minimum range. Wait at least 1 hour after unplugging these systems before testing them. Continuity refers to how much resistance there is in a closed electrical current. Thanks to all authors for creating a page that has been read 49,997 times. If the probes are connected—either by a continuous circuit, or by touching each other directly—the test current flows through. If you place it on the plastic parts, it will likely still say “infinity” because electricity can’t flow through plastic. Warning . It's a must-have for any toolbox—but there's a learning curve involved.  Conversely, if you don’t detect continuity in your multimeter, then it’s a blown fuse. The first test is a voltage test, which you perform with the multimeter set to measure AC voltage in the 200-volt range. wikiHow, Inc. is the copyright holder of this image under U.S. and international copyright laws. If required, press the continuity button. Finally, try replacing your terminals before consulting your manual to find out how you can reset the multimeter.

The analog multimeter might need calibration. This will tell you right away if either there is a blockage or a break in the connection. You’ll always hear a continuous sound when there’s power flowing in your circuit. A DMM emits an audible response (a beep) when it detects a complete path. Just to note; you need to ensure the terminal is placed on the metallic part since metal is the only good form of material that transfers electricity. First insert the black test lead into the COM jack. This image is <b>not<\/b> licensed under the Creative Commons license applied to text content and some other images posted to the wikiHow website. Continuity is the transfer of an electrical charge from one end of a wire to the other. The rule of thumb for a continuity test is that a multimeter will beep. If your eyes can’t see it, the multimeter is usually a great second testing resource. wikiHow's. What’s the difference between a multimeter and a continuity tester? Turn on the multimeter and set its function to the lowest setting for ohms (resistance). With the test probes separated, the multimeter’s display may show OL and Ω. If the wire lacks continuity, it has a "short." Using a multimeter to check a fuse first will ensure you know that the fuse is truly blown out already and needs to be replaced. You perform a continuity test with the power off, but it isn't conclusive unless you disconnect the fixture. It’s okay if the number fluctuates a little. Testing continuity in a wire, current, or fuse is a good idea if you’re installing or repairing any electrical components in an outlet, fuse box, car, or appliance. The multimeter has many settings, but the one that you will want to focus on is the one that looks like a wifi symbol. wikiHow, Inc. is the copyright holder of this image under U.S. and international copyright laws.

All rights reserved. If you get a reading of "infinity," the circuit is open---this means you have a short or a blown fuse. wikiHow, Inc. is the copyright holder of this image under U.S. and international copyright laws. Test for continuity by first turning off power to the circuit. If you can detect continuity on your multimeter, then it means the fuse is good. Set your multimeter to the continuity setting using the selection knob. Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered. If the needle moves to a higher range, such as 10 ohms or higher, then there may be a problem with your wire, fuse, or other device. The multimeter tests continuity by sending a little current through one probe, and checking whether the other probe receives it. Multimeters come in different types. A digital multimeter’s Continuity Test mode can be used to test switches, fuses, electrical connections, conductors and other components. This image is <b>not<\/b> licensed under the Creative Commons license applied to text content and some other images posted to the wikiHow website. For testing a fuse, you can either use it to measure the continuity (which tests if the circuit is complete) or the ohms (which tests resistance). A good fuse, for example, should have continuity. If the resistance is significantly higher than this, the wire is faulty and needs to be replaced. To use it, you need to set the dial to continuity mode, which looks like a speaker. How to Use a Multitester to Test for Continuity . In the examples I will give today, we are checking for continuity so that means we are trying to determine if an electric flow entering one part of a device/wire will end up flowing to the other end of the device/wire.
