6-6. Capacitance Measurements
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, discharge the capacitor under test before measuring.

• Use the MODE button to select CAP Measurements.
• Touch the test probe tips across the part under test.
• Read the capacitance value in the display.
• The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value.
Note: When set this position, Date Hold and black light function cannot used. For very large values of capacitance measurement

position. Use the MODE button to select the diode function if necessary (diode
symbol will appear on the LCD when in Diode test mode)
• Touch the test probe tips to the diode or semiconductor junction under test. Note the meter reading
• Reverse the test lead polarity by reversing the red and black leads. Note this reading
• The diode or junction can be evaluated as follows:
1. If one reading displays a value (typically 0.400V to 0.900V) and the other reading displays OL, the diode is good.
2. If both readings display OL the device is open.
3. If both readings are very small or ‘0’, the device is shorted.
Note: when set this position , Date Hold and black light function cannot used.

• Read the Frequency value on the display.
• Select HZ or % with the HZ/% button.
• The display will indicate the proper decimal point and value.
6-9. Temperature Measurements
• Set the function switch to the TEMP position.

• Touch the Temperature Probe head to the device under test. Continue to touch the part under test with the probe until the
reading stabilizes.
• Select °C or °F with the function switch
• Read the temperature on the display. The digital reading will indicate the proper decimal point and value.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple probe has been removed before changing to another measure-
ment function.
6-10. NON-CONTACT VOLTAGE (NCV)
The NCV function works on any rotary switch position.
• Test the detector on a known live circuit before use.
• Hold the top of the meter very close to the voltage source as shown.
• If voltage Is present, the red light will long lighting.
NOTE: Do not touch the top of the meter when using this function.
