NOTE: Turn OFF power to the test circuit before attempting in-circuit resistance measurements to prevent false readings or damage to the meter. Do not use the meter to measure resistance through a solid state module.

Continuity tests that work well for detecting intermittent shorts to ground can be performed by setting the meter to "ohms" then pressing the "PEAK MIN MAX" button. An audible tone will be heard whenever the meter detects continuity for at least 1 millisecond.

The J 39200 Instruction Manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the meter as well as kept on hand for reference during new procedures.
