charge the capacitor. Touch the resistor
leads to terminals C & H and C & F.
3. Disconnect the wires from the capacitor
terminals.
4. Set the ohmmeter to the R x 10K scale.
5. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the
common (C) terminal and the F terminals.
6. The meter should indicate several ohms
and gradually return to infinity.
7. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the
common (C) terminal and the H terminals.
