measurement range on the LCD display. If the capaci
-
tor is leaking, either a “1” or a figure much greater than
the actual value will be displayed on the LCD display. If
the capacitor is broken, a “0” will be displayed in every
measurement range on the LCD display.
When measuring low value (pF) capacitors, use the
shortest possible probe cables and when clearing the
unit the measuring points of the probe cables should be
close to the pins of the capacitor to be measured, for the
benefit of higher accuracy.
If using probe cables, keep in mind that they might
be high capacity. First, measure the probe cables’
capacity (open circuit) in order to subtract it from the
reading.
The value of many capacitors (particularly electrolytic
capacitors) can be greater than the rated value, which is
normal except if they are shorted.
If the capacitor’s value changes significantly on chang
-
ing the measurement range, first measure its resistance
as you are probably measuring a leaking capacitor. The
capacity of a leaking capacitor can be lower in lower
measurement ranges.

Inductivity measurement (µH, mH, H)
Set the dial to the appropriate measurement range.
Insert the pins of the inductor to be measured into the
two nearest “+” and “-“ sockets, or connect the red probe
cable to the “+” socket, and the black one to the “-” sock-
et. Connect the measurement probes to the circuit to be
measured. Read the value.
Note:
In order to avoid sporadic inductivity figures, use the
shortest possible probe cable in lower measurement
ranges. This instrument cannot be used for measuring
the Q factor of an inductor.

Resistance measurement (Ω, KΩ, MΩ)
Set the dial to the appropriate measurement range.
Insert the pins of the resistor to be measured into the
two nearest “+” and “-“ sockets, or connect the red probe
cable to the “+” socket, and the black one to the “-” sock-
et. Connect the measurement probes to the circuit to be
measured. Read the value.
Note:
To ensure more accurate measurement, under the 200
Ω measurement range first measure the resistance of
the probe cables by shorting the probe cables then sub-
tract it from the measured figure.

Battery and fuse replacement
If the “
” icon appears on the display, the batteries
require replacing. Prior top replacing the battery, turn off
the instrument and unplug the probe cables. Remove
the instrument from its case then remove the battery
compartment screw from the rear panel. Change the bat-
tery. Observe the correct polarity. Replace the cover and
tighten the screw.
Warning:
Before opening the instrument, make sure that the probe
cable has been removed from the measuring circuit.
Replace and tighten the screws so that the device oper-
ates in a stable manner during use and accident hazards
are avoided.
