4 - FREQUENCY ! ! ! ! ! Plug the leads into the multimeter and connect in parallel to the circuit to be tested. ! ! ! ! ! Put the switch in the Hz voltage frequency position ! ! ! ! ! Automatic measurement selection: read off the value measured Note : the bargraph is inhibited when measuring frequency ! ! ! ! ! If necessary, press on the following buttons : - MIN-MAX to read min.
7 - CAPACITANCE Never measure capacity on a live circuit. Always respect the polarity of the electrolytic condensers. This type of condenser may be temperature-sensitive; do not touch it, therefore, during measurement. ! ! ! ! ! Plug the leads into the multimeter and connect to the condenser terminals.
