Capacitance Measurement - UNI-T UT601 Operating Manual

Model UT601: OPERATING MANUAL
B. Capacitance Measurement (see figure 4)
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.
The Meter's capacitance ranges are:200pF, 2nF, 20nF,
200nF, 2µF, 20µF, 200µF, 2mF and 20mF.
To measure capacitance, connect the Meter as follows:
1.
Set the rotary switch to F measurement mode. If the
value of capacitor to be measured is unknown, use the
minimum measurement position 200pF and increase
the range step by step until a satisfactory reading is
obtained and the overloading icon "1" is disappeared.
2.
Insert the red test clip into the CAP + terminal and black
test clip into the CAP – terminal. For small value
capacitor measurement, insert the capacitor into the
Small Value Capacitance Jack.
3.
Use the red test clip to clip the capacitor's positive and
the black test clip to clip the capacitor's negative when
the capacitor has polarity.
