APACITANCE
To measure Capacitance, refer to the following:
1. Insert the black lead into the COM jack, and the red lead into the V/ Ω /C jack
2. Press the R key. An ‘ R ’ appears at the top of the screen
3. Press the SET key until the C appears at the top of the screen
4. Connect the black and red leads to the capacitor or circuit under test; the
meter will display the reading (Unit of measure: Farad)
Notes: To improve accuracy when the measured value is lower than 5 nF, select the
lowest capacitance range and use the Relative mode.
Please allow approx. 30 seconds for capacitance measurements larger than 40uF.
Refer to the example diagram in Figure 5.

OLTAGE
To measure DC voltage, refer to the following:
1. Insert the black lead into the COM banana jack input and the red lead into
the V/ Ω /C banana jack input
2. Press the V key and the DCV symbol will appear at the top of the screen
3. Connect the red and black test leads to the measurement points on the
circuit under test; the voltage value will be displayed on the screen
Refer to the example diagram, Figure 6.
