3. When there is no input, the device displays a fixed value (intrinsic capacitance).
- For small capacitance measurement, to ensure measurement accuracy, the measured
value must be subtracted from intrinsic capacitance.
- Users can measure small capacity capacitors with relative measurement functions
(REL) (the device will automatically subtract the intrinsic capacitance).
Notes:
- lf the tested capacitor is shorted or its capacity is over the specified range “OL” symbol
will be displayed on the screen.
- When measuring large capacitors, it may take a few seconds to obtain steady readings.
- Before measuring capacitors (especially for high voltage capacitors), please fully
discharge them.

AC/DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT (see Figure 2b)
1. Switch the dial to “V~” position.
2. lnsert the black test lead into the COM jack, the red test lead into the “VΩmA” jack.
Connect test leads with the load in parallel.
Notes:
- Do not measure voltage over 600Vrms, or it may expose users to electric shock and
damage the device. lf the range of the voltage to be measured is unknown, select the
maximum range and reduce accordingly.
- Please pay extra attention when measuring high voltage in order to avoid electric shock.
- Before using the device, it is suggested to measure a known voltage for verification.
