How responsive is the continuity test when you short the probes?

Display usually reads 0.01-0.02 with probes in contact with each other in the 0-1K range. It is a great meter for the price.

I've used capacitance testers, but this is not one.This is just a multimeter: tests amperage, ac voltage, dc voltage and resistance. The low range on the resistance function has a good beep for indicating shorts.The meter is difficult to zero out on the lowest resistance scale and is affected by low temperatures.

Not sure. Pretty sure I had some faulty test kits. No sure if it works it not. I read the reviews on my test kits and I'm pretty sure it was those that were bad.

When it worked yes I checked it against a conventional gauge and another digital gauge. The problem was it stopped working after each and I had to replace the batteries then it would work once the replace the batteries. I returned it after one use. Not reliable at all.

A multimeter shows the V+s are internally shorted as are the COM terminals, though I haven't tried running a 20A load through a single terminal or splitting it.

Agree with John Schanben's answer, You can trouble shoot a circuit for breaks or shorts with a less expensive meter. If you like the advanced features, its a great deal. If you are doing basic continuity and readings, shop a little. I've got a few ten dollar to twenty dollar meters that are good for basic stuff.

Probably. If the issue is the probe wire fusing...why bother ? It is going to,happen again. I replaced it with a Redi-Chek thermometer and love it.

I can't answer that, but if you measure the contact holes (center to center) precisely, thespecifications of the available probes should answer that. Hope this helps?

It does seem to measure with the tip as well. The "original measurement in 8 seconds" is not "stare at a blank screen for 8 seconds". You'll see the temperature going up every 1/2 second-ish for about 8 seconds until the core probe is reading the correct temperature. I can put just a little bit of the tip in and wait the required time and it will read the same temperature as if I submerged the entirety of the probe. Hope that helps!

When I have had that issue it and has been the probe that has failed, time to order a new probe. I order two to keep a spare on hand.. My BBQ can melt them when they get caught in a flare up....

I didn't have any problem. However I sent mine back due to I didn't/don't think it gave me accurate readings.

No cable length test It tests continuity for each pair only to the primary test end, then ID (but not continuity) to the numbered test ends.

I tested both Cat 5 and 6. It is essentially a continuity tester, not a bandwidth tester or throughput tester. It just lets you know that you have good continuity from end to end without any shorts to ground or between conductors. For continuity, it works great. Just be aware that it doesn't seem like it would take much abuse (lightweight plastic), so if you are rough on tools, you will have to be careful, but it worked fine for me.

The tester is in 2 pieces just connect 1 on each end of your cable. On mine I had a 100 ft cable with problems and it scanned it and found 1 broken wire. The tester scans by stepping through the cable 1 wire at a time and if broken it will skip the bad wire. Hope this helps the cheap thing works...

I purchased this to check for continuity. I am not sure how accurate the resistance readings are.

Yes, but if you need test resistence this devices dont do that. This device working for continuity.

I say no as it can mess with the RTD and temps. If you do, keep it away from the probe. (This is from rec tec themselves)
