What do I need to test ditra heat cable?

In order to perform the insulation resistance test, you must use a megohmmeter (M), also known as a megger, to take an insulation measurement between the braid and one of the two power leads. or greater than 1 gigaohm (G); 1 G = 1000 M.

How do you test a heat cable with a multimeter?

Using the continuity test (buzzer logo) function of your multimeter, test your cable between the braid and one of the two power leads. If there is no continuity (if the test is successful), the multimeter will display, depending on the instrument used, either OL for over load or I for infinity.
