5.7 Capacitance Measurements
Warning: Do not perform capacitance tests before removing the power to the capacitor
or to other devices under test during a measurement. Injury to persons can occur.
1. Set the function switch to the position.
2. Use the MODE button to select capacitance function (capacitor symbol must be
displayed).
3. Insert the black probe lead into the negative COM terminal and the red probe
lead into the positive terminal.
4. Touch the tips of the probe across the part under test.
5. Read the capacitance value on the display.
Note: For very large capacitance values, several seconds may be required for the
measurement to settle and for the final reading to stabilize.
