Heat Bed Polarity

If testing the power connections to the ENSY with a continuity meter, are the positive and negative wires coming from the heat bed supposed to have continuity between each other? I went through all my PSU connections to the ENSY with a multi-meter to tripple check all the positive and negative connections and I'm getting continuity between the heat bed C+ and C- in the instructions. Is this correct?

Best Answer by --:

Continuity yes. Low ohms yes. But ZERO ohms, no.

States the bed should be 3.5 ohms.

Thanks a bunch. I was just using my meter to triple check my wiring from the PSU to the EINSY and got worried when I heard the continuity tone when checking the heat bed terminals. I believe that is actually how heaters work but then again I am no electrical engineer. Just wanted to check before powering anything. Thanks again!
