To measure capacitance:
1. Set the rotary switch to proper range.
2. Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and
terminals respectively (or you can measure
the capacitance by using the special Multi-Function Socket).
3. Connect the test leads to the capacitor being measured and read the displayed value.
Some tips for measuring capacitance:
( The meter may take a few seconds to stabilize reading. This is normal for high capacitance measuring.
( To improve the accuracy of measurements less than 20nF, subtract the residual capacitance of the
Meter and leads.
3.2.6 Transistor measurement
To avoid electrical shock and/or damage
to the instrument, do not apply more than
250Vdc or 250Vac rms between the hFE
terminal and the COM terminal.
1. Set the rotary switch to hFE range.
2. Connect the “com” plug and “+” plug of the special multi-function socket to the COM and hFE
terminals.
3. Determine whether the transistor to be tested is NPN or PNP type and locate the Emitter, Base and
Collector leads.
4. Insert leads of the transistor into proper holes of the special multi-function socket.
5. The meter will show the approx. hFE value at test condition of base current 10μA and Vce 2.8V.
3.2.7 Frequency measurement
Do not measure Frequency on high voltage
(>380V) to avoid electrical shock hazard
and/or damage to the instrument.
Frequency is the number of cycles a voltage or current signal completes each second.
To measure frequency:
1. Set the rotary switch to 20kHz range.
2. Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and Hz terminals respectively.
3. Connect the test leads to the circuit being measured
4. Read the displayed value.
