Model UT58E: OPERATING MANUAL
Measurement Operation(11)
Note
l If the value of capacitance to be measured is unknown,
use the maximum measurement position, and reduce
the range step by step until a satisfactory reading is
obtained.
l When the tested capacitor is shorted or the capacitor
value is overloaded, the LCD display "1".
l To minimize the measurement error caused by the
distributed capacitor, the testing lead should be as
short as possible.
l To increase the accuracy especially when measuring
small capacitance range, the correct reading is
subtracting the test lead open circuit value from the
display value.
l It is normal to take a longer time when testing a high
capacitor value.
l For testing the capacitor with polarity, connect the
red clip or red test lead to anode and black clip or
black test lead to cathode.
l It takes some time for zeroing when you switching
over the rotary switch, the floating readings shows
on the display during this process do not affect the
final testing accuracy.
l When capacitance testing has been completed,
remove the testing leads away from the multi-purpose
socket, and remove multi-purpose socket or test clip
away from the input terminal of the Meter.
