Happy viewing!!!
This work is on continuity tester designed for frontline test and repair jobs. The circuit provides a simple test for localizing faults in multicore cables. Open circuits are more likely at connector ends. By identifying the faulty end, the AC continuity tester allows you to open and repair the correct cable end. This action avoids the risk of damaging a good connector by opening it up. This approach is also useful for testing an installed cable with ends at different locations.
The schematic illustrates a circuit for a continuity tester that injects an AC signal on one cable wire and then looks for the absence of capacitive coupling on the other wires. One end of a bad cable typically shows good AC continuity, while the other end typically has one or more connector pins with no AC continuity. Because a short in the cable appears as a good connection, the operator can easily confirm that the tester is operating correctly by simply shorting its test leads together.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
A continuity tester is an item of electrical test equipment used to determine if an electrical path can be established between two points;[Dean, Tamara, 2010] that is if an electrical circuit can be made. The circuit under test is completely de-energized prior to connecting the apparatus.[Dean, Tamara, 2010]
The tester consists of an indicator in series with a source of electrical power - normally a battery, terminating in two test leads. If a complete circuit is established between the test-leads, the indicator is activated.[Dean, Tamara, 2010]
The indicator may be an electric light or a buzzer. This led to the term "buzzing out a circuit" (which means to test for continuity) Audible continuity buzzers or beepers are built into some models of multimeter, and the continuity setting is normally shared with the ohmmeter setting.
A popular design has the tester combined with a standard flashlight. A phone connector or jack plug in the rear of the unit permits a set of test leads to be plugged in effecting a quick conversion between the two applications.
For situations where continuity testing must be done on high resistance circuits, or where delicate conductors and sensitive components that might be damaged by excessive current are present, a low voltage, low current device must be used. These typically use an op-amp and watch batteries to drive an LED as an indicator. These testers can be exquisitely sensitive; for example they will indicate if the test points are taken by both hands.
There are times when a simple continuity test fails to reveal the problem. For example, vibration-induced problems in automobile wiring can be extremely difficult to detect because a short or open is not maintained long enough for a standard tester to respond.
In these applications a latching continuity tester is used. A more complex device, it detects intermittent opens and shorts as well as steady-state conditions. These devices contain a fast acting electronic switch forming a gated astable oscillator which detects and locks (latches) the indicator on an intermittent condition with a duration of less than a millisecond.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
It is very difficult to identify a broken conductor in a circuit. A continuity tester is useful in determining the damaged components or broken conductors in a circuit. It can also help in determining if the soldering is good, if the resistance is too high for flow of current or if the electrical wire is broken between two points.
1.3 AIM OF THE STUDY
The main aim of this work is to build a portable device used to determine the presence of electrical path that can be established in between two points of an electrical circuit.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
In electronics a continuity tester is a very crucial tool. It helps you to troubleshoot your circuit and find faults in it. The basic idea is that the device consists of two probes which when come on contact make a buzzing sound. While troubleshooting a circuit the probes are touched to the two contacts which needs to be tested, if they are connected the continuity sensor makes a buzzing sound.
1.5 APPLICATION OF THE PROJECT
This device typically used to construct and test electric circuits. By this device we checked the polarity of any electrical and electronics circuit which is essential for designing any required important system. This tester also helps to check the continuity of the wire of our house wearing system.
1.6 BENEFITS OF THE STUDY
- it will also save time.
- Fewer human resources are required.
- Reliability: It is more reliable and quicker way when running boring repetitive standardized tests which cannot be skipped.
- It not only checks for continuity but also for shorts.
A continuity tester consists of a battery in a housing, with a test probe connected to one end of the battery housing and a test wire with an alligator clip connected to the other end. It is used with the current turned off to determine whether a particular electrical component is carrying electricity and to pinpoint the cause of a problem.
1.8 METHODOLOGY
To achieve the aim and objectives of this work, the following are the steps involved:
- Study of the previous work on the project so as to improve it efficiency.
- Draw a block diagram.
- Test for continuity of components and devices,
- Design of the device was carried out.
- Studying of various component used in circuit.
- Construction of the circuit was carried out. The construction of this project includes the placing of components on Vero boards, soldering and connection of components,
- Finally, the whole device was cased and final test was carried out.
