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 CAP position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (-) jack (COM) and the red test lead banana
plug into the positive (+) jack (CAP).
3. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested. The display will indicate the proper
decimal point, value.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
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.
2. Plug the temperature probe into the banana plug adaptor, making sure to observe the correct polarity.
3. Plug the banana plug adaptor into the multimeter, making sure to observe the correct polarity.
4. Switch the multimeter on and select °C or °F.
5. 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 stabilises (about 30 seconds).
6. Read the temperature in the display. The digital reading will indicate the proper decimal point
and value.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, remove the temperature probe before changing to
another measurement function.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage
before removing the battery door.
1. When the batteries become exhausted or drop below the operating voltage, “BAT” will
appear in the right-hand side of the LCD display. The battery should be replaced.
2. Follow instructions for installing battery. See the Battery Installation section of this manual.
3. Dispose of the old battery properly.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate your Multimeter until the battery door is
in place and fastened securely.
