Sanwa CX506a, Instruction Manual, Page: 45 / 60

6-7-2 C3 range
1) Application
Measured large capacitor
2) Measuring range: C3 range: 1 〜 2000 µF
3) Measurement procedure
①
Shift the polarity reversal switch to ＋ side.
②
Connect the black plug of the test lead to the − input terminal
and the red plug to the ＋ input terminal.
③
Set the function/range selector to C3 range.
④
Discharge the capacitance before measuring it.
⑤
Short the test pins and turn the 0 Ω ・ C ∞ adjuster to have
the pointer align exactly with ∞ of C3 scale.
⑥
Apply the test pins to the measuring capacitor. Then, read
the maximum reading on the C3 scale.
The pointer moves to right direction scale by the charge
current to the capacitor. However, the pointer starts gradual
returning from a certain point. Read the indicated maximum
value on C3 scale.
⑦
After measurement, remove the red and black test pins
from the object measured.
Pay attention to the polarity ( ＋ / − ) of the capacitor.
(Connect ＋ side of the capacitor to black test pin.)
It is not possible to measure the electric double layer
capacitor.
