When you short the test leads in the 600
range, your meter
display a small value (no more than 0.3
). This value is due to your
meter´s and test leads internal resistance. Make a note of this value
and subtract it from small resistance measurements for better
accuracy.
5.8. Frequency measurement
1. Set the function switch to the "Hz/Duty" position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana jack into the negative
COM
jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive V/
/Hz
jack.
3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.
4. Read the frequency in the display. The digital readings will indi-
cate the proper decimal point, symbols (Hz, kHz, MHz) and
value.
5.9. Capacitance measurements
Warning:
To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and
discharge
all
capacitors
before
taking
any
capacitance
measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords.
1. Set the function switch to the "-II-" position.
2. Insert the black test lead into the negative COM jack and the red
test lead into the positive V/Ohm/-II--jack.
3. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested. The display
will indicate the proper decimal point, value and symbol.
