Any de-energized low-resistance device can be tested for a full flow path using continuity testers. A typical test instrument for single-pole, 3-way, and 4-way switches is a cable continuity tester. One port, known as the “common” terminal, is present on a 3-way switch, for instance.
The common terminal on a 3-way switch may be placed in any location, depending on the maker. On a 3-way switch, the common terminal is frequently distinguished by a distinct color.
The common terminal is not marked on specialized switches, like those used in automobiles. To identify the common terminal and ensure correct switch operation, continuity testers are used.
One benefit of using a test tool’s continuity test setting is its audible response, which is occasionally preferable to reading the resistance measurement. The electrician can focus on the testing procedures without having to glance at the display thanks to an audible response.
The primary drawback of using a continuity tester is that it can only detect continuity on a circuit or component through sound. Continuity testers do not display the real resistance reading of the circuit or component under test; instead, they only work with circuits that have very low resistance (typically 40 or lower).
The Global Cable continuity tester market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
At the EWPTE in Milwaukee, the model M2Z low voltage test system will be unveiled by CAMI Research Inc. (Acton, MA), the company that produces automation-ready continuity cable tester and harness test systems under the CableEye brand.
This basic tester looks for intermittent defects and diode orientation in addition to opens, shorts, and miswires. The control module has a probe socket with a probe and 128 test locations.
The M2Z comes pre-loaded with extensive, automation-ready software that enables tester administration, troubleshooting, pass/fail testing, and testing of any product volume and mix from prototyping to batch testing.
Basic continuity testing in cables and small wire harnesses is offered by the entry-level M2Z. It is appropriate for cables transporting digital signals or any other electronic signaling where minor resistance variations in the cable or connections won’t impair the operation of the connected equipment.
To check for bad connections that could be caused by movement or flexing, the complete wire can be scanned for erratic connections at a high cycle rate.
A cable or wire harness with up to 64 conductors can be tested using the unit’s 128 test spots. By connecting expansion modules, other models can be extended up to 2,560 + 24 test points. (128-points per module).
