Testing Continuity
To change the temperature scale, refer to the “Setting the Default Temperature Scale”
section in Chapter 3 of this manual. Available scales are Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
Refer to the “Adjusting the Meter’s Range” section in Chapter 3 of this manual for
information on how to adjust the measurement range.
Function modifiers:
Continuity testing determines whether a circuit is intact (i.e., has a resistance less than the
threshold). The threshold is selectable between 1 and 1000 .
To perform a continuity test:
1. Press S on the 8846A or Q on the 8845A. An example of the continuity display
Connect the test leads as shown in Figure 4-1.
To set the threshold value, refer to the “Setting the Continuity Threshold Resistance”
section in Chapter 3 of this manual.
Function modifiers:
The Beeper cannot be disabled in continuity. Pressing BEEPER OFF turns
off the beeper for errors.

Switches the measurement input connectors to 4-wire measurement
for 4-wire RTDs. 4-wire RTDs make more accurate measurements.
Default RTD type. All coefficients are predefined.
Used to select a different value of RTD resistance at 0 C.
Used to set the first coefficient of the Calendar-Van Dusen equation.
- 246.645
Cycles the secondary display through the measurement functions
listed below and then off.
OHMS - Displays the resistance of the RTD. 2-wire resistance is used
when in 2-wire temperature mode and 4-wire resistance when the
Meter is in 4-wire RTD mode.
