To Measure Capacitance
Range: 2nF, 20nF, 200nF, 2μF, 20μF, 200μF, 2mF, 20mF, 100mF
Max Resolution: 1pF (in the range of 2nF)
Input Protection: 1000V protection is available in all ranges. If the
reading exceeds the range, “ overload ” will be displayed.
Operating Steps:
1. Enable the Capacitance measurement
Press on the front panel to enter the Capacitance measurement

at 110% of the present range, and down a range when below 10% of the
present range.
