CAPACITANCE
CONTINUITY TEST
•
Insert the red test lead into the terminal and the
black test lead into the COM terminal.
•
Set the rotary switch to the measurement
and
press the
SELECT
button to select capacitance
measurement.
•
Connect the test leads to both ends of the measured
capacitance (see right).
•
Directly read the measured capacitance on the display.
Warnings
•
If the measured capacitance shorts or capacitance
value exceeds the maximum range of the meter “OL”
will show on the display.
•
For the measurement of capacitance within small
range, relative measurement REL should be adopted to avoid the influence of
distributed capacitance for correct readings.
•
For the measurement of capacitance greater than 600µF, allow for more time to
gain the correct readings.
•
To ensure the measuring accuracy, the capacitor should be discharged completely
then put into the meter to measure, especially for a capacitor with high voltage in
order to avoid damage to the meter and personal injury.
•
Do not input a voltage higher than 30VAC (rms), AC (peak 42V) or 60V DC in
order to avoid personal injury.
•
After completing all of the measuring operations, disconnect the connection
between the test leads and the capacitor under test.
•
Insert the red test lead into the
Ω
terminal and the black test lead into the
COM
terminal.
•
Set the rotary switch to the measurement
Ω nS
and press the
SELECT
button
to enter one of the sub-menu options.
•
If pressing the
SHORT
button, then the buzzer selects short circuit for alarm
sound. If the measured resistance between both ends is <10Ω, the buzzer
continuously sounds. If it is >50Ω the buzzer does not sound.
•
When pressing the
OPEN
button, the buzzer selects open circuit. For the alarm to
sound continuously, the measured resistance between both ends must be >50Ω. If
it is <10Ω, the buzzer does not sound.
•
Directly read the measured resistance value on the display.
Warnings
•
When measuring the in-circuit resistance, all of the power within the measured
circuit must be shut off before measurement and all of the capacitors must be
discharged to ensure correct measurement.
•
Do not input a voltage higher than 30VAC (rms), AC (peak 42V) or 60V DC in
order to avoid personal injury.
•
After completing all of the measuring operations, disconnect the connection
between the test leads and the circuit under test.
