5.7. CAPACITANCE
MEASUREMENT
CAUTION
Before carrying out capacitance measurements on circuits or capacitors, cut
off power supply from the circuit being tested and let all capacitance in it be
discharged. When connecting the multimeter and the capacitance to be
measured, respect the correct polarity (when required).
Fig. 29: Use of the instrument for Capacitance measurement
1. Select
position
:
CAP
2. Press
the
MODE/VFD
key until the symbol
“
nF
”
is displayed.
3. Insert the red cable into input terminal
VHz% CAP
:
and the black cable into
input terminal
COM
.
4. Press
the
REL/
S
key before carrying out measurement (see § 4.3.5).
5. Position the leads at the ends of the capacitor to be tested, respecting, if necessary,
the positive (red cable) and negative (black cable) polarity (see Fig. 29). The value is
shown on the display.
According to capacitance, the instrument may take several
seconds to display the correct final value.
The bargraph is not active in this
function.
6. The
message
“
OL
”
indicates that the value of capacitance exceeds the maximum
measurable value.
7. To use the HOLD and RANGE functions, see § 4.2
8. To use the internal functions, see § 4.3
9. To save the measured result, see § 4.3.4
