(Then, "
" and "Ω" symbols are indicated on the display.)
Make sure that the "OL." symbol is indicated on the display at this bout, then short the test lead tips and check "0" is indicated on the display and check if
the buzzer beeps.
(4) Connect the test leads to both ends of the resistance under test.
Measured value is indicated on the display. The buzzer beeps below about 100Ω.
Note) Even if short the test lead tips, indicated value may not be "0". But this is because of the resistance of test leads and not a failure. In that case, by pressing
"REL" key, "0" will be indicated.
6-4 Capacitance Measurement
DANGER
● To avoid the danger of getting electrical shock, never make measurement of the circuit in which electric potential exists.
● Do not make measurement when opening the battery cover and the instrument case.
● Make sure to discharge the capacitor before making measurement.
(1) Insert the black test lead plug into the COM terminal and the red test lead plug into the VΩHz terminal.
(2) Set the Function Selector Switch to "
" position.(Then, "Auto" and "nF" symbols are indicated on the display.)
(3) Press the "REL" key and "0" shall be indicated.(Then, "△" symbol is indicated on the display.)
(4) Connect the test leads to both ends of the Capacitance under test.
Measured value is indicated on the display.
Measuring unit "nF" / "uF" is automatically chosen and indicated due to the measured value.
Note) It may take some time according to the measuring capacitance.
Measuring capacitance < 4uF ---------- Measuring time is about 2seconds
Measuring capacitance < 40uF ---------- Measuring time is about 7seconds
Measuring capacitance < 100uF ---------- Measuring time is about 15seconds
6-5 Frequency Measurement
DANGER
● To avoid the danger of getting electrical shocks, never make measurement on a circuit over 600V AC/DC. (electrical potential to ground 300V AC/DC)
● Do not operate the Function Selector Switch during measurement.
● Do not make measurement when opening the battery cover and the instrument case.
(1) Insert the black test lead plug into COM terminal and the red test lead plug into the VΩHz terminal.
(2) Set the Function Selector Switch to "Hz" position.(Then, "Auto" and "Hz" symbols are indicated on the display.)
(3) Connect the test leads to the circuit under test.
Measured value is indicated on the display.
Frequency can be measured at ACV and ACA functions by pressing "Hz/DUTY" key.
Concerning with the direction for use of "Hz/ DUTY" key, please reference to the section 7-6 Hz/DUTY in this document.
Note) The minimum input can be measured is approx. 1.5V.
To measure a frequency, measure the voltage on the electrical circuit in advance. Then press the "Hz/DUTY" key to enter into frequency measurement.
Readings of frequency may fluctuate or be influenced under noisy environment.
