How do I perform AutoStart Continuity R1+R2 test on the DL9118 MFT
Continuity testing on the DL9118 18th Edition MFT is very simple. The test requires the Red and Black leads to be plugged directly in to the input terminals at the top of the instrument, you will see that the terminals are clearly coloured Red & Black. Rotate the rotary dial anti clockwise to position 1. Using the correct safety equipment and qualification, remove the GS38 protective shrouds then connect the crocodile clips on to the the end of the red and black probes. With the instrument already Auto Null’d or Zero’d (Click here to watch the video on how to Auto Null your Test Leads), press the function 4 button (F4) and you will see the Auto symbol illuminate on the screen. The instrument is now set and will automatically start when it is connected to a resistive value. The DL9118 is fitted with a fully automated electronic protection system, which continuously monitors for voltage being present on any conductor. If there is any voltage in excess of 50V TRMS, the instrument will alarm, the screen will change to red and the voltage will be indicated on the screen.
