caveo security Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 I do own multimeter... I'm just asking because it's not working for me. I was told to twist to spare cables in each device together and measure resistance on those two cables in panel site. But each pir I have measured shows me 0 so clearly there is something wrong. The reason I ask was just simply to make sure that I'm doing it right.

lymebayalarms Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 So turning it back to 200 ohms, touch the lead together what value do you get?

caveo security Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 0 all the time 0. I have just checked on resistor and showed 0 as well. Obviously on kilo ohms I checked. So I just think meter is faulty?

lymebayalarms Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 So with the meter set to 200 ohms you get 0 with the leads shorted together, what about without the lead touching, what does it display....

lymebayalarms Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 And how much did you pay for the meter? Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40559-resistance-reading-on-each-zone/page/2/#findComment-451802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
