Measuring Resistance; Measuring Capacitance; Measuring Frequency; Measuring Duty - Mastech MS8216 User Manual

Pocket Digital Multimeter
NOTE:
1. " " means you can't input the voltage which more
than 600V DC or 600V rms AC, it's possible to show
higher voltage, but it's may destroy the inner circuit.
2. Pay attention not to get an electric shock when
measuring high voltage.

4.8 Measuring resistance

4.8.1 Set the transform switch at the desired range.
4.8.2 Connect test leads across the resistance under
measurement.
4.8.3 You can get reading from LCD.
NOTE:
1.For measuring resistance above 1M, the meter may
take a few seconds to get stable reading.
2. When the input is not connected, i.e. at open circuit,
the figure '1' will be displayed for the overrange
condition.
3. When checking in-circuit resistance, be sure the
circuit under test has all power removed and that all
capacitors have been discharged fully.

4.9 Measuring capacitance

4.9.1 Set the transform switch at the
4.9.2 Connect test leads across the capacitance under
measurement.
4.9.3 You can get reading from LCD.
Warning
To avoid electric shock, be sure the capacitors have been
discharged fully before measuring the capacitance of a
capacitor.
range position.

Pocket Digital Multimeter
NOTE:
1. It takes certain time (200μF range 30 seconds) to
steady the reading when measuring high capacity.
2. When measuring low capacity range under the open
circuit, put down the "REL" to make the display show
"000", then you might get reading from it.

4.10 Measuring frequency

4.10.1 Set the transform switch at the Hz range position
(or at the ACV range and the DCV range, put down the
"H/D" to transform to Hz measuring position).
4.10.2 Connect test leads across the source or load
under measurement.
4.10.3 You can get reading from LCD.
4.11 Measuring duty cycle
4.11.1 Set the transform switch at the Hz range position
(or at the ACV range and the DCV range, put down the
"H/D" to transform to DUTY measuring position).
4.11.2 Put down the"H/D" Transform the meter to DUTY
range.
4.11.3 Connect test leads across the source or load
under measurement.
4.11.4 You can get reading from LCD.

4.12 Testing diode

4.12.1 Set the transform switch at the
4.12.2 Connect the red lead to the anode, the black lead
to the cathode of the diode under testing.
4.12.3 You can get reading from LCD.
NOTE:
1.The meter will show the approximate forward voltage
drop of the diode.
range position.
