- 1). Connect the measurement probes to the digital multimeter. Connect the red probe to the positive terminal and the black probe to the negative terminal.
- 2). Switch on the multimeter by rotating the dial on the front clockwise. Select the continuity function. In order to test the multimeter is working, bring the two measurement probes into contact with one another. The multimeter should make an audible beep. This indicates electrical continuity.
- 3). Switch off the electrical component that is being measured and place the measurement probes across it. If the component is continuous then the meter will make a beeping sound. If the component is not continuous, no sound will be heard. Switch the multimeter off after the measurement.
