Meter setup to measure temperature:
•
Set the rotary switch to
TEMP
setting.
Note:
The meter defaults to Celsius temperature measurement mode. You can press the “
DC/AC
” button to
switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature measurement if necessary.
•
Insert the plug of the K type thermocouple into the “
COM
” and “
” jacks as shown, make sure that the
polarity connections are correct.
Connect:
•
Tip of the K type thermocouple to the area or surface to be measured.
Read the reading on the display.
Capacitance (CAP) Measurements
Capacitance measurements check the condition of capacitors under static (power off) conditions in microfarads (µF).
CAUTION
TURN OFF POWER TO THE CIRCUIT TO BE TESTED. THOROUGHLY DISCHARGE THE CAPACITOR TO
BE TESTED BY SHORTING THE CAPACITOR LEADS TOGETHER. USE THE DC VOLTAGE FUNCTION TO
CONFIRM THAT THE CAPACITOR IS DISCHARGED.
NOTE:
In the 1µF range, readings may be unstable due to environmentally induced electrical noise and
floating capacity of the test probes. Therefore, connect the capacitor directly to the input terminals.
