Test Method
Electrical continuity
The continuity test serves to measure the continuity based on resistance and for a later evaluation.
The evaluation is carried out by comparing the measured value with a set value and the corresponding tolerance.
The continuity test is no safety-relevant test, but is only used for checking function and quality.
For the automatic evaluation the resistance set value and the permissible +/- tolerance is predefined.
The continuity test is not able to precisely measure and evaluate small resistances as it is not carried our in 4-wire technology. In case low continuity resistances between 1-10Ω are to be measured with high accuracy, the precise 4-wire resistance measurement is recommended instead.
