Small Issue - Fluke T5-1000

[Resu]

Hi all, having a bit of an issue with the above meter. I have owned it for about a year now and have recently noticed I am getting a reading a reading of around 9 ohms between the leads. As far as I'm aware there is no way of nulling the leads but I might be missing something? I don't use it for major continuity testing but is handy for checking elements, etc. on storage heaters and immersion heaters.

Cheers in advance!

Try it out on a cal-box or similar and deduct the 9 ohm lead resistance, see what results you get and if they are consistent.

Try changing the batteries mine gives a 1 Ohm reading along with the sounder !!

Never tried mine on continuity, normally used for voltage/current checking.

Ah you have a posh one... I have the lowly T110... Continuity is oh so simple on that one.

"yes" or "no"

...or is it a Cyberdyne systems T1000, you know, metal endo skeleton coated in human tissue?
