7 - CAPACITANCE
Never measure capacity on a live circuit.
Always respect the polarity of the electrolytic condensers.
This type of condenser may be temperature-sensitive;
do not touch it, therefore, during measurement.
!
!
!
!
!
Plug the leads into the multimeter and connect to the condenser
terminals.
!
!
!
!
!
Put the switch in the capacitance meter position

Automatic measurement selection: read off the value measured
Note : The bargraph is inhibited during capacitance measurement

To save the measurement, if required, press on the HOLD button.
If necessary, press on the following buttons :

8 - DC AND AC CURRENT
Always disconnect the circuit to be tested before connecting
the multimeter to the circuit.

!
Be careful : plug the leads into the multimeter and connect in series
to the circuit :
- the red lead on the “+” Terminal, up to 400 mA
- the red lead on the “10 A” terminal, from 400 mA to 10 A
