7.10 Measuring Capacitance:
WARNING!
Do not apply voltage or current to the meter when it is set
to the Capacitance
“F
”
ranges. Do not connect a charged capacitor
to the meter. Doing so may damage the meter or injure the user.
7.10.1
Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the
red test lead to the input jack indicated as on the
“Front Panel” drawing on page 22.
7.10.2
Set RANGE switch to the F position appropriate
for the measurement to be made.
7.10.3
Connect the test leads to the capacitor to be measured.
Observe proper polarity (if appropriate). Read
value from the LCD display.
7.10.4
If the display indicates overrange, i.e.
“1
- - -
”,
rotate
the RANGE switch to the next higher position and
observe the reading on the LCD display. If the RANGE
switch is already at its highest position (i.e. 200u F),
and the reading exceeds
20.0, it should be considered
inaccurate.
