Capacitance
Measurements
Warning:
Do
not
perform
capacitance
tests
before
removing
the
power
to
the
capacitor
or
to
other
devices
under
test
during
a
measurement.
Injury
to
persons
can
occur.
1.
Set
the
function
switch
to
the
position.
2.
Use
the
MODE
button
to
select
capacitance
function
(capacitor
symbol
must
be
displayed).
3.
Insert
the
black
probe
lead
into
the
negative
COM
terminal
and
the
red
probe
lead
into
the
positive
terminal.
4.
Touch
the
tips
of
the
probe
across
the
part
under
test.
5.
Read
the
capacitance
value
on
the
display.
Note:
For
very
large
capacitance
values,
several
seconds
may
be
required
for
the
measurement
to
settle
and
for
the
final
reading
to
stabilize.
