Measuring Capacitance
1. Set the Function Switch to the
P
function.
2. If RANGE is displayed, press the RANGE button to enable
autoranging.
3. Connect the Test Leads: Red to COM , Black to
h
4. Turn off power to the circuit being measured.
5. Discharge the capacitor using a 100 k
Ω
resistor.
6. Free at least one end of the capacitor from the circuit.
7. Connect the Test Probes across the capacitor. When
measuring an electrolytic capacitor match the test lead
polarity to the polarity of the capacitor.
8. Read the display.

Measuring Temperature
1. Set the function Switch to °C or °F .
2. Connect the K-type thermocouple to a TEMP adapter
(XR-TA). Match the polarity of the adapter to the polarity
of the thermocouple.
3. Connect the TEMP adapter to the
E
and COM inputs.
Note: The 38XR-A is compatible with all K-type
thermocouples. The K-type bead thermocouple supplied
with the meter is not intended for contact with liquids or
electrical circuits.
