Fits long-run continuity and wire ID checks where you need an Extech CT20 with ≤2.0 kΩ threshold, remote bi-color LED probe, and test lengths up to 10,000 ft (3,000 m).

Key advantages

  • Threshold — Continuity ≤2.0 kΩ
  • Indication — Bright flashing red LED + 85 dB pulsating beeper
  • Remote — Bi-color (red/green) LED probe; identify up to 3 wires per trip
  • Length — Up to 10,000 ft (3,000 m); 26 AWG minimum
  • Drive — Pulsed 2.0 Hz; polarity verification via 20 mA DC pulse

Typical applications

  • Cable continuity over long runs.
  • Wire identification with remote probe.
  • Polarity checks on installed conductors.

Selection guide

  • Length / AWG — Up to 10k ft; ≥26 AWG
  • Remote probe — Wire ID workflow
  • Power — 9 V; ~12 months normal use
  • Environment — 32–122 °F; 10–90% RH

Common mistakes

  • Expecting low-ohm Kelvin milliohm accuracy.
  • Using below 26 AWG on max length.
  • Ignoring polarity LED meaning on remote.
