unplug cord, discharge all capacitors, etc.) to the circuit being measured before taking any
capacitance measurement. Use the DC Voltage function to confirm that the capacitor is dis-
charged.
1. Set the function switch to position.
2. Insert the black test lead plug into the “COM” terminal and the red test lead plug into
the “V
Ω
CAP TEMP Hz” terminal.
3. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested. The display will indicate the proper
value with decimal point and symbol.
Frequency Measurement
1. Set the function switch to position.
2. The meter automatically defaults to DC voltage. Press and hold button for 3
seconds to select the frequency range.
3. Insert black test lead plug into the “COM” terminal and red test lead plug into the “V
Ω
CAP TEMP Hz” terminal.
4. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.
5. Read the frequency in the display. The digital reading will indicate the proper value
with decimal point and symbol.
Temperature Measurement
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both test probes from any
source of voltage before making a temperature measurement.
1. Set the function switch to position. The meter automatically defaults to °C
range.
2. Insert the temperature adapter in “COM” and “ V
Ω
CAP TEMP Hz” terminal with
–ve side in “COM” and +ve side in “V
Ω
CAP
TEMP Hz” terminal.
3. Insert the Temperature Probe into the adapter.
4. Touch the Temperature Probe head to the part
whose temperature is to be measured. Keep the
probe in contact with the part under test until the
reading stabilizes (about 30 seconds).
5. Read the temperature in the display. The digital
reading will indicate the proper value with deci-
mal point.
6. Press button to change from °C to °F unit.
To reduce risk of electric shock, be
sure the thermocouple has been removed before changing to another measurement func-
tion.
Maintenance Instructions
WARNING
To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of
voltage before performing any maintenance activity.
