3.5. Capacitance Measurements
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, discharge the capacitor under
test before measuring.
1. Set the function switch to the Ω , CAP position.
2. lnsert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and
the red test lead banana plug into the V positive jack.
3. Touch the test probe tips across the part under test. If " OL " appears
in the display, remove and discharge the component.
4. Read the capacitance value in the display.
5. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value.
Note: For very large values of capacitance measurement it can take
several minutes before the final reading stabilizes.
3.6. Frequency Measurements
1. lnsert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM jack and
the red test lead banana plug into the V positive jack.
2. Set the function switch to the V
~
HZ/% Position.
3. Press MODE button to select the Frequency ( Hz ) or Duty cycle ( % ).
4. Touch the test probe tips across the part under test.
5. Read the value on the display.
6. The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value.
3.7. Temperature Measurements
1. Set the function switch to the TEMP position.
2. lnsert the Temperature Probe into the negative COM and the
V positive jacks, observing polarity.
3. Touch the Temperature Probe head to the device under test.
Continue to touch the part under test with the probe until the
reading stabilizes.
4. Read the temperature on the display. The digital reading will indicate
the proper decimal point and value.
5. Use the MODE button to select °F or °C.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple probe has
been removed before changing to another measurement function.
3.8. Continuity Measurements
1. lnsert the black test lead into the negative COM terminal and the red
test lead into the V positive terminal.
2. Set the function switch to the position.
3. Use the MODE button to select continuity " ". The display icons will
change when the MODE button is pressed.
4. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or component under test.
5. lf the resistance is < 50
Ω
, a tone will sound.
