7. CAPACITANCE
Never carry out capacitance tests on a live circuit.
■
Select from among the following ranges: 40 µF, 400 µF or
4000 µF
■
Always observe the correct polarity of electrolytic
capacitors. They can also be temperature sensitive so
avoid touching them during measurement.
■
Connect the leads to the multimeter and to the capacitor
to be tested.
■
If necessary, store the value in memory by pressing the
HOLD button.
As necessary, press the following buttons:
■
MIN MAX to read off the min. or max. values.

8. AC AND DC CURRENTS
Always switch off the circuit to be tested before
connecting it to the multimeter.
■
Select the micro-ammeter function µA
■
Warning : connect the leads to the multimeter and connect
in series to the circuit with the red lead in the “µA” terminal.
■
Press the
...
button and ~ to select DC or AC.
■
Switch on the circuit upon which the measurement is to
be carried out.
■
Automatic range selection : Read off the value.
■
If necessary, store the value in memory by pressing the
HOLD button.
As necessary press the following buttons:
■
MIN MAX to read off the min. or max. values (see § 2
