Capacitance Measurement
The capacitance measurement is available only for auto- range mode. To 
perform the capacitance measurement, do the following instructions:
1 Press   button to access meter menu.
2 Press F2 to access ohmmeter submenu.
3 In the ohmmeter submenu, press F1 to select the capacitance 
measurement (displayed as “Cap”) from the pull- up menu.
4 Connect the red test lead to the   input terminal and the black 
test lead to the COM terminal.
5 Probe the red test point to the positive terminal (anode) of the 
capacitor and the black test lead on the negative terminal (cathode).
6 Read the capacitance reading from the display. 
7 To perform relative function, please refer to “Relative Function 112” 
section in this chapter.

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before 
performing capacitance measurement to avoid electric shock and damage to the 
instrument.
