4. Taking Measurements
Hints:
If the capacitance of the capacitor can not be estimated, start out in
the highest range (“2000 µFx10”).
With electrolytic capacitors make sure you observe correct polarity.
4.7 Frequency Measurement
Frequencies of up to 5 kHz can be measured with the unit.
Please Notice!
Do not perform measurements on circuitry with voltages of over
1000 V AC. If this value is exceeded, there is a danger of severe
injury by electric stroke. There is also a danger of destruction of the
unit.
Procedure
1. Connect the red probe to the V;
; ;
Ω
; CAP input (11) and the
black probe to the COM input (12).
2. Now set the rotary function switch (10) to “Hz%,
, V”. The unit is
now set to the voltage measuring mode. Press “Hz%“ (2) once to
enter the frequency measuring mode. This is confirmed by “Hz”
being displayed. The measuring range is selected automatically
and can not be undertaken manually.
3. Connect the probes to the component or circuitry and read the
frequency from the display.
Hints:
When measuring frequencies of over 3 kHz wait for a few seconds
until a steady value is displayed.
To leave the frequency measuring mode, press “Hz%“ (2) twice.
Now you have returned to the voltage measuring mode.
Watch Out!
If you have connected the probes to the power mains, do not
change the settings on the rotary function switch (10). There is
a danger of injury and damage to the unit.
