Does it have a tone if their is continuity detected? How high can the resistance go before it no longer has a tone signifying continuity?

no tone on continuity.. resistance is auto ranging. tone feature in most meters is useless any way as the sound is not loud enough to be helpful... i use a piezo and 9 v battery with some alligator leads to be able to check continuity over a distance. mostly good features on this unit except the current measurement is only up to 350ma on first setting and 10 amp on the second. otherwise this is a nice meter for the price.

Mine seems to have similar resistance so it might just be your unit. FYI I reprogramed the horizontal scroll to do forward and back and find this more intuitive. HTH

I just tried this for you, and yes - it will check resistance between neutral and ground, and alert if they're connected together.

It is electronic. The control panel changes the resistance as you change it on the panel.

I don't know enough about residential wiring to answer your question, but yes, the HORN icon is what you select for continuity testing, and it beeps when the circuit is complete.

Mine does it too.If it is running and you press buttons 1-4 it will move to that speed without priming.But if it is running and a schuduled time kicks in, it will prime and then go to that speed.Redundant I know, but that's it.

The probe has a tiny wheel that controls the sensetivity. Remember to check the probe on a (known to be on) outlet before you test the unknown one.

You need to learn how to use a voltage/ continuity multi testor and trace it down. It is pretty tough teaching electronic trouble shooting by text over the computer. If you don't understand , send it back to Humminbird.

As far as I remember it does effect the tone itself. I usually don't mess with the tone knob. I set at mid-point and leave it alone.

If there is a delay? I have tried to notice it AND if it does exist I am unable to detect it. Maybe some are just more sensitive than me!

There is a fair amount of resistance. I'm not sure how to quantify it. I don't believe that a light bump would change the volume. It is simular to most stereo equipment

The spec rating is 50 amps continuous and a bit higher for transients.Note that current only flows on the black wire (the red wire only a voltage sense measurement connection).Also noticed that at higher currents above 40 amps or so, the LCD display contrast gets lighter and eventually dissapears but comes back at lower currents, the data appears to be conserved.

It makes a noticeable noise but its subtle. As soon as you touch the two buttons it stops.

I tried other non contact testers and they tend to give you inaccurate warning. e.g. if you have a neutral carrying current because there is incorrect splicing somewhere else, it will give you a wrong signal unless you separate then far apart to test them individually. This one is pretty accurate.

yes it has a continuity setting. I have been using it to check old wiring on my Porsche. Works great.

Yes it will test for power as well as continuity just make certain to read the directions to confirm the color and sound that goes with each.
