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.
