It was decided, therefore, to arrange the terminating marker to apply a continuity test for each call to make sure, before it is disconnected, that a circuit is completed to a subscriber line.

The tester must protect itself if you accidentally connect it across an energized circuit or a charged capacitor. Power consumption must be low so that if you accidentally leave the tester on ...

Inside, a pager vibration motor is connected, vibrating when continuity is found. The circuit runs from a 1.5V AA battery which neatly fits inside the marker shell.

This simple but clever continuity tester sports two LEDs: RED LED = circuit resistance is < approx 10K, GREEN LED = circuit resistance <10Ω. It consumes approx 8mA from a 9V battery. When not ...

Today’s power system depends on reliable circuit breaker operation. Proactively monitoring the connections and circuit continuity of the circuit breaker trip coil and lockout relay gives operators ...

Even the most basic testers will sense voltage so you can check if a wire is getting power, and continuity so you can test if a circuit is complete, or an earth ground is sound.
