Measurement Operation (7)
Warning
To avoid damage to the Meter or to the equipment
under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge
all high-voltage capacitors before measuring
capacitance.
Use the DC Voltage function to confirm that the
capacitor is discharged. Never attempt to input over
60V in DC or 30V rms in AC to avoid personal
dangerous.
The Meter's capacitance ranges are: 40.00nF, 400.0nF,
4.000 F, 40.00 F, and 100.0 F. To measure capacitance,
connect the Meter as follows:
1. Insert the red test lead into the HzV terminal and
the black test lead into the COM terminal.
2. Set the rotary switch to
3. Connect the test leads across with the object being
measured.
The measured value shows on the display.
Note
l
For testing the capacitor with polarity, connect the
red test lead to anode & black test lead to cathode
instead.
l
To increase the accuracy of capacitance
measurement especially when measuring under
400nF, use REL mode to automatically subtract the
Meter built-in equalized capacitance and residual
capacitance of test leads from the result.
l
It takes a longer time when testing a high capacitor
value, the testing time is around 15 seconds in
100 F range.
l
When capacitance measurement has been
completed, disconnect the connection between the
testing leads and the circuit under test.
