3)
Consideration for internal circuit's stray inductance of 2
mH range, if intend to make the precision measurement,
should short the input terminal first, record the display
Then final true measurement value will be the " reading
value " deduct above " internal circuit stray inductance "
For example : If the stray inductance is -15 uH, then the
real real value is the reading value plus 15 uH ( deduct
-15 uH ).
4)
Measurement of very low inductance should be
performed using extremely short leads in order to avoid
introducing any stray capacitance.
5)
This instruments is not intended for determining the "Q"
factor for the inductor. Misleading readings may be
obtained if the measurement of the inductance of a
resistor is attempted.
5. CAPACITANCE (C) MEASUREMENT
PROCEDURES
1) Slide the " Power On/Off switch " (3-2, Fig. 1) to the " 1 "
position.
" 1 " = On
2) Slide the " L/C,R switch " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) to the " L/C "
position.
3) Rotate the function switch for the maximum expected
capacitance range.
4) Plug the " Test alligator clips " to the " Measuring input "
(3-5, Fig.1), then connect the inductor to the alligator
clips.
Observe polarity when connecting polarized
*
capacitors.
Fully discharge any charged capacitors.
*
" 0 " = Off
