CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENT

Before carrying out capacitance measurements on circuits or capacitors, cut
off power supply from the circuit being tested and let all capacitance in it be
discharged. When connecting the multimeter and the capacitance to be
measured, respect the correct polarity (when required).

1. Select position
2. Press the MODE/VFD key until the symbol
3. Insert the red cable into input terminal VHz% CAP
input terminal COM.
4. Press the REL/
5. Position the leads at the ends of the capacitor to be tested, respecting, if necessary,
the positive (red cable) and negative (black cable) polarity (see Fig. 29). The value is
shown on the display. According to capacitance, the instrument may take several
seconds to display the correct final value. The bargraph is not active in this
function.
