  • Page 3: General Overview

    1) GENERAL OVERVIEW • This capacitance meter is able to measure capacitance of capacitor. It will not measure the Q factor of reactive components. Incorrect readings can be displayed when trying to measure the capacitance of resistive loads. • When measuring capacitance, make sure that the component or circuit under test is de-energized before make measurements.

  • Page 4: Terms In This Manual

    3) TERMS IN THIS MANUAL WARNING identifies conditions or practices that may result in serious wounds or even death. CAUTION identifies conditions and practices that may cause damage or instrument malfunction. WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock does not expose this instrument to rain or high humidity.

  • Page 5: Front Panel Description

    5) FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION WARNING Turn off the power of circuit under test and discharge all the capacitors before measurements. 1) LCD Display: The display shows the measurement. 2) Rotary switch: Used to select the measurement range. 3) Zero adjustment key: Adjust the zero in measurements using low capacitance ranges.

  • Page 6: Operation

    6) OPERATION 6.1 Measurement Consideration 1) This capacitance meter was designed to measure capacitance of capacitors. The meter will not measure “Q” factor of reactive components. Wrong reading will be displayed when trying to reading the capacitance of resistors. 2) When components are measured in circuit, turn the circuit off and discharge all capacitors before connect the test leads.
  • Page 7 6) Make the reading in display. The measurement is displayed with the corresponding units pF, nF and µF, indicated at the rotary switch. Only at the 2000µF x10 the reading must be multiplied by 10. If the display shows the overrange indication (1), select the next upper range. If the display shows one or more zero at the left of display, select the next lower range to obtain better resolution.
  • Page 8 NOTES: a) If the capacitance value is unknown, start the measurement at 200pF range, and select the next upper range until that the overrange indication is not displayed. b) A capacitor in short condition will display an overrange indication in all ranges.

    7) MAINTENANCE 7.1 Cleaning Periodically clean the meter with a soft cloth slightly wet with water or mild detergent, and take care to not remove the overlay. Do not use abrasives or solvents, or even alcohol. 7.2 Battery Replacement Replace the battery when the low battery indicator appears in LCD display. Replace the battery immediately in order to keep the instrument in normal operation condition.

  • Page 15: Visión General

    1) VISIÓN GENERAL • Este capacímetro tiene como función la medida de la capacitancia de condensadores. No tiene como objetivo determinar el factor Q de componentes reactivos. Lecturas incorrectas pueden ser obtenidas en la tentativa de medida da capacitancia de un resistor. •...

    3) TÉRMINOS EN ESTE MANUAL ADVERTENCIA identifica condiciones o acciones que pueden resultar en serias heridas o mismo muerte para el usuario. CAUTELA identifica condiciones y acciones que pueden causar daños o mal funcionamiento del instrumento. ADVERTENCIA Para reducir el riesgo de llama o choque eléctrico, no exponga este producto a lluvia o humedad.

  • Page 17: Descripción Del Panel

    5) DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PANEL ADVERTENCIA Desligue la alimentación del circuito en teste y descargue todos los condensadores antes de la medida. 1) Display LCD: El display exhibe el valor de la medición. 2) Llave selectora de rango: Ella es usada para cambiar el rango de medición.

  • Page 18: Operación

    6) OPERACIÓN 6.1 Consideraciones para Medición 1) Este capacímetro es especifico para medir valores de capacitancia de condensadores. El no es específico para determinar el factor “Q” de los componentes reactivos arriba. Lectura engañosa puede obtener a ten- tar a medir la capacitancia de un resistor. 2) Cuando medimos componentes dentro de un circuito desligue y desenergize el circuito antes de conectar la punta de prueba.
  • Page 19 6) Efectúe la lectura del display. El valor de lectura es directa en las unidades pF, nF y µF, indicada en la selectora de rango, solamente el rango 2000µF x10 que la lectura debe ser multiplicada por 10 para encontrar el valor de la capacitancia. Si el display exhibe solamente el dígito más significativo (1), es una indicación de sobre-rango, portanto seleccione el próximo rango superior.
  • Page 20 NOTAS: a) Si el valor da capacitancia no es conocido, empiece por el rango de 200pF y aumente hasta que la indicación de sobre-rango no sea más exhibida. b) Un condensador en corto-circuito presentará la lectura de sobre-rango en todos los rangos de medida. Un condensador con fuga en bajo voltaje presentará...
