Accuracy is based on an operating temperature of 23°C (73°F) at relative
humidity up to 75%.
Test Voltage:
>3.5 volts peak maximum, "+" input terminal voltage is
always higher than" -" input terminal.
Overload Protection:
The meter is protected against damage from
charged capacitors (greater than 50 VDC) by a 100 mA/250 V, fast blow
fuse.
Zero Capacitance Adjustment Range:
Approx. ±20 pF.
Th'ese specifications are subject to change at any time and no obligation is
assumed as to future manufacture of the product herein described nor
adherence to this data in case of such future manufacture.
Meter Safety
1. Observe polarity when connecting polarized capacitors.
2. Fully discharge any capacitor.
3. Never apply voltage to the test connectors, serious damage may result.
4. Do not short the test leads together. This will cause a large power
drain on the battery and will show an overrange on all r'3nges.
Capacitance Measurement
1. Insert any test leads or fixtures and rotate range selector to a range on
the capacitance scale higher than the expected capacitance to be
measured.
2. If the 200 pF, 2000 pF or 20 nF range has been selected and the
display does not read zero, use the zero adjust knob to bring the
reading to zero. The adjustment is limited to approximately ±20 pF.
3. Connect the alligator clips to the capacitor leads or insert capacitor
leads into the capacitor test sockets.
4. Read the display value on the LCD. If display shows "1", it indicates
an overrange measurement. If the display indicates one or more
leading zero's, shift to the next lower range scale to improve the
resolution of the measurement.
Measurement Considerations
1. If the capacitance value is unknown, start with the 200 pF range and
rotate selector switch to successive higher ranges until the overrange
indication disappears and a
is obtained.
