7 - CAPACITANCE
Never make a capacitance test on a live circuit
Always respect the polarity of electrolytic condensers.
This type of condenser may be sensitive to
temperature, so avoid touching it during measurement.
Connect the leads to the multimeter and to the terminals of the
condenser.
Place the selector switch on the capacitance meter function
Automatic range selection: read the measured value
Note:
The bargraph is not operational on capacitance
measurement
Freeze the value, by pressing the HOLD button

8 - FREQUENCY
(C.A 5220 only)
Connect the leads to the multimeter and in parallel to the circuit to
be tested.
Place the selector switch on the Hz voltage frequency function.
Automatic range selection : read the measured value
Note:
The bargraph is inhibed when measuring frequency.
If necessary, press the following buttons:
- MIN-MAX to read the min or max values
