Subject:Volt Ohm Meter: Continuity Checking, Ohm Range Settings
From:Neil N

Hi all.

I'm measuring continuity to track down where I connected a + wire.
With battery DISconnected, digital meter @ 200 Ohm range, no
continuity seen (displays a 1). At 2000 Ohms (diode test setting): ~
1700 Ohms. As I increase Ohm range, the decimal point moves, then at
20M Ohm range, I see 0.00.

At the highest range, am I seeing a false reading for continuity?

Thanks, Neil
