Measuring Capacitance
CAUTION
• To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment
under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge all
highvoltage capacitors before measuring capacitance.
Use the dc voltage function to conrm that the capacitor is
discharged.
The ranges of measuring capacitance are 40nF, 400nF, 4uF,
40uF, 400uF, 4mF and 40mF.
To improve the accuracy of measurements less than
1000nF, you can use the relative (Δ) mode to subtract the
residual capacitance of the leads.
To use capacitance measurement, turn the rotary switch to
resistance position, then press the function (yellow) button
to select measuring mode.
