Sanwa CX506a, Instruction Manual, Page: 44 / 60

Note
①
Measuring frequency
C1range : approx. 900 Hz C2range : approx. 800 Hz
②
Measuring voltage
C1range : approx.8.0 V (peak)/When 200 pF is measured
C1range : approx.0.5 V (peak)/When 0.05 µF is measured
C2range : approx.4.0 V (peak)/When 0.1 µF is measured
C2range : approx.0.7 V (peak)/When 5.0 µF is measured
③
Application
・ Test of the cord (Use the C1 range)
Wire breaking point
Cx 1
Cx 2
Cx 1 ＞ Cx 2
Continuity or open-wire check of parallel cords, as shown in Fig,
can be done by measuring capacitance between the core wires
(conductors) as a comparison test.
Longer cords are easier to check the detection of the open-wire
because the capacity value lost by leakage between the wires is
proportioned to the length of the wires.
