3.3. CONTINUITY DETECTION
Connect the red test probe to the + terminal and the black
lead to the COM terminal.
Keep your hands behind the guards of the device and of
the test probe.
Place the test probes on the element to be tested and maintain
a firm contact.

If no voltage is detected, the C.A 742 IP2X performs a
continuity test.
If the resistance is below the continuity threshold, indica-
tors 12 to 230 flash one after another. The device emits a
continuous audible signal.
If the resistance is above the continuity threshold, the
device displays nothing and does not emit a sound.
3.4. PHASE DETECTION
The C.A 742 IP2X performs a unipolar phase detection.
This means that connecting a single test probe is enough to
determine whether a phase is present.
Warning: Phase detection cannot replace an absence of
voltage test.
To operate correctly, the phase detection function must be
used on networks referred to earth.
It can be used, for example, to locate the phase on an outlet.
