TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS 

1. 

Set the function switch to the 

green 

Temp

 position. 

2. 

Insert the Temperature Probe into 

the input jacks, making sure  

  to observe the correct polarity. 

3. 

Press the

 MODE

 button to 

indicate “

ºF

” or “

ºC

” 

4. 

Touch the Temperature Probe 

head to the part whose 

temperature you wish to measure. 

Keep the probe touching the 

part under test until the reading 

stabilizes (about 30 seconds). 

5. 

Read the temperature in the display. 

 

Note:

 The temperature probe is fitted with a type K mini connector.  

A mini connector to banana connector adaptor is supplied for  
connection to the input banana jacks. 

 
 

 
CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENTS 

WARNING:

 To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and discharge all 

capacitors before taking any capacitance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug 
the line cords. 

1. 

Set the rotary function switch to the 

green 

Ω CAP

         position. 

2. 

Insert the black test lead banana 

plug into the negative 

COM

 

jack. 

Insert the red test lead banana 

plug into the positive 

V

 jack. 

3. 

Press the

 MODE

 button to indicate 

F

” 

4. 

Touch the test leads to the 

capacitor to be tested. 

5. 

Read the capacitance value in the 

display 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FREQUENCY (DUTY CYCLE) MEASUREMENTS (ELECTRONIC) 

1. 

Set the rotary function switch to the 

green

 Hz/%

 position. 

2. 

Insert the black lead banana plug into 

the negative

 COM

 jack and the red 

test lead banana plug into the positive 

Hz

 

jack. 

3. 

Touch the test probe tips to the circuit 

under test. 

4. 

Read the frequency on the display. 

5. 

Press the 

MODE

 button to indicate 

%

”. 

6. 

Read the % duty cycle in the display.
