QUICK START GUIDE
Do not measure a capacitor that is not fully discharged. Connecting a charged or partially
charged capacitor to the input terminals will damage the instrument.
When measuring within a circuit, the circuit must be de-energized before connecting the test
leads.
When used in a dusty environment, the instrument should be wiped and cleaned regularly.
Do not leave the instrument exposed to direct heat from the sun for long periods of time.
Before removing the cover, ensure that the instrument is disconnected from any circuit and is
powered OFF.
Note:
To achieve optimum precision for all L, C, and R measurements at either the highest or
lowest ranges, calibrate the meter before testing. See “SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION”
section for details.
Inductance Measurement
1.
Press down button for one second to turn on the meter.
2.
Press button until “L” is displayed on the screen to select inductance measurement.
3.
Insert an inductor into either the input sockets or connect alligator leads into the banana
jack input terminals and connect the clips to the component leads as illustrated in Figure 11.
4.
Press button until the desired test frequency is displayed on screen.
5.
Press button to select between D factor, Q factor, θ angle, or ESR measurement for
secondary display.
6.
Read the display readings for inductance measured values and selected measured values on
secondary display.
