Measuring Capacitance
CAUTION
:
To avoid possible damage to the
multimeter or to the equipment
under test, disconnect circuit
power and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors before
measuring capacitance. Use the
DC voltage function to confirm
that the capacitor is fully
discharged.
Capacitance ranges are 40.00 nF, 400.0 nF, 4.000 uF,
40.00 uF, 400.0 uF, 4000 uF.
Note
:
For the 4000 uF range, the measuring duration should
be over 30 seconds.
Rotate the rotary switch to
. Press
three
times to enter capacitance measuring mode, the
Farad units will be displayed.
Connect the black test lead to the
terminal and
the red test lead to the
terminal.
Probe the test points and read the display.
