Resistance reading on each zone

[caveo security]

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.

What multimeter do you use?

[caveo security]

Bought less then month ago

move dial to diode test (between 2ac & hFE)

 

touch probe togther & does it buzz?

[caveo security]

Yes it does I've check that in the first place.

So turning it back to 200 ohms, touch the lead together what value do you get?

[caveo security]

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]

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....

[caveo security]

Yeah it's display only 1 like it's ready for measuring

And how much did you pay for the meter?
