When the meter is on continuity, the meter display  open circuit when it is indeed open circuit

However shorting the leads out to zero them shows 0.00.  I tested with an 8 ohm power resistor and it still displayed 0 ohms.

When I press the test button, it briefly display error code 1 then display 0.00 reading.

Has anyone had this fault before and can remember how much it costs to repair.

Thing is the tester is practically brand new because it's been sitting on a shelf or in it's box for 98% of the 5 years I've had it.

I am doing my 2391-52 exam and find the kew tech kt63 the centres uses A BIG PAIN IN THE ASS.

What piece of **** has different terminal for live and dead tests. IT's just a little bit of a faff I find. And the particular one I used, you would have to keep zeroing the test leads when it switches it self off.

 GIVE THE BOY A CHANCE MAN!
