Measuring Capacitance and Temperature
W
Warning
To avoid electrical shock and injury:
• When testing capacitor in a circuit, make sure the power to the circuit is
turned off and all capacitors are discharged.
• When measuring temperature, DO NOT apply the temperature probe to
any live conductive parts.
Capacitance
1. Turn off circuit power, then disconnect and discharge the capacitor
before measuring capacitance.
2. Connect the black test lead to the COM terminal and the red test lead
to the terminal
3. Turn the Meter’s rotary switch to capacitance .
4. Connect the probes across the capacitor to be tested. When measuring,
be sure to note the correct polarity of the capacitor.
Temperature
The Meter measures temperature in either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).
1. Connect the banana plug type-K temperature probe to the Meter’s
input terminal noting correct polarity of the probe.
2. Turn the rotary switch to .
3. Press SELECT button to select °C or °F. The display reflects the chosen
temperature mode (°C or °F).
4. Position the probe to take the measurement. The reading appears on
the display.
Note: Type-K mini plug temperature probes can also be used with a
plug adaptor with banana pins to type-K socket.
