How would one test the stat on this? Put a multimeter in the two holes in the centre and check for continuity in low and high settings???

Welcome to the forum. Although you can post in any forum, the USA forum is here in case of local regs or laws
What do you want to test? If you want to test that the stat is working then yes.
