[1] The output is continuously variable from 220 pF to 110 mF.
[2] Specifications apply to both dc charge/discharge capacitance meters and ac RCL meters. The maximum allowable peak voltage is
3 V. The maximum allowable peak current is 150 mA, with an rms limitation of 30 mA below 1.1 μF and 100 mA for 1.1 μF and
above.
The maximum lead resistance for no additional error in 2-wire COMP mode is 10 Ω.
