Q,/,4"$,84*%D*,#'(*5*8$#
Measure capacitance up to 66mF.
R@;ECESb Turn off all power and fully
discharge capacitors on the circuit
under test before measuring.
1. Plug black test lead into QVD Jack.
Plug red test lead into C8/'$ Jack.
2. Turn the Rotary Switch
to the position.
3. Carefully touch capacitor
leads with tips of probes.
4. Read measured capacitance
on the Display.
5. When testing is complete, turn
Rotary Switch to V<<, remove
and store capacitor and Meter.
Q'((*8$%D*,#'(*5*8$
Measure AC and DC conductors
carrying up to 10 amperes.
E&$*- Amperage is always tested
in series with circuit under test.
E&$*- When using manual range
mode, always start with the highest
range if the amperage is unknown.
1. Turn the Rotary Switch to the
, or position, depending on the
amperage of the conductor under test.
2. Always start with the highest range
if the amperage is unknown.
3. Plug black test lead into QVD
Jack. If amperage is < 600mA,
plug red test lead into μAmA Jack.
If amperage is > 600mA, plug
red test lead into J^@ Jack.
4. Connect the Test Leads across
the circuit to be measured.
5. Read measurement. For AC current,
frequency is shown at the top right.
Switch to lower ranges, as necessary,
to get the most accurate reading.
6. When testing is complete, turn
Rotary Switch to V<<, remove
Test Leads and store with Meter.
E&$*- If the Display shows VG while in
manual range mode, the measurement
has exceeded the selected range. A
higher range should be selected.
