7.3.5 Prepare the wires/cables to be tested with corresponding circuit number as tagging &
approved color coding.
7.3.6 For Analog type, set the testing instrument to ohm scale. Short the test leads and adjust
the knob to set the pointer scale to zero (0) ohm.
7.3.7 For Digital type, power-on the testing instrument and set the function switch to ohm
scale. Short the test leads and check that display registers zero (0) ohm resistance.
7.3.8 Plug one end of the red test lead to the ohm terminal on the meter and connect the test
probe to the end of conductor to be tested, plug one end of the black test lead to the
common terminal on the meter and touch the test probe to another end of same
conductor.
7.3.9 Use longer probes in conducting long distance testing. In other case, use building wires
as alternative or interconnect one end of the conductors on the same circuit.
7.3.10 After making the connection, set the testing instrument to the ohm scale. The multi-
meter tester pointer should deflect to the right going to zero as shown in Figure 1. For
digital multimeter, ohmic reading will be zero (0) or near zero value. In some other model
of digital multimeter, it has a feature of making a beep sound to indicate continuity.
7.3.11 Record the result and shall be witnessed by the inspector and ALCO’s Representative.
If testing failed, rectify it and repeat the test until it will pass.
7.4 LAN Cable Test
7.4.1 Ensure that the work areas are safe and ready to start the continuity test. Only
competent and skilled workers having NCII TESDA Certificate are allowed to do test
under the supervision of Site Engineer/ Supervisor/ Electrical Foreman having full
knowledge of the activity.
