Capacitance Measurement
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.
Switch the rotary function switch to the
"Ω
CAP
"
position.
2.
Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative
(COM) jack
. Insert the red test
lead banana plug into the positive (
V/Ω/Temp
) jack.
3.
Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested.
4.
Read the capacitance value on the display.
Frequency or % Duty Cycle Measurement
1.
Set the rotary function switch to the
"VCC/AC, Hz"
position.
2.
Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative
(COM)
jack and the red test lead
banana plug into the positive
(V)
jack.
3.
Select
"Hz
or
% Duty"
with the
Hz/%
button.
4.
Touch the test probe tips to the circuit under test.
5.
Read the frequency on the display.
Temperature Measurement
WARNING
: To avoid electric shock, disconnect both test probes from any source of voltage
before making a temperature measurement.
1.
Set the function switch to "
Temp"
position.
2.
Insert the temperature probe into the negative
(COM)
and the positive (
V/Ω/TEMP
)
jacks,
making sure to observe the correct polarity.
3.
Touch the temperature probe head to the part whose temperature you wish to measure.
Keep the probe touching the part under test until the reading stabilizes (about 30 seconds)
4.
Read the temperature on the display. The digital reading will indicate the proper decimal
point and value
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple has been removed before
changing to another measurement function.
