If Measured Object Is to Be Charged Before
Measurement (Pre-charge)
When objects such as capacitors with high electrostatic capacity are measured automatically, the
measurement time can be shortened if the measured object is charged prior to measurement (pre-
charge).
Set the pre-charge to [ON] (charges objects). (p. 64)
See “Measurement without use of a measurement xture” (p. 79).
Connect Model L2233 Clip Type Lead (Black), etc. to the CHARGE terminal. (See the gure below.)

Rc is the measured object after measurement of Rx.
Example of connection (grounding an measured object)
When not using the CHARGE terminal, you can charge up the object Rx, which is connected
between the OUTPUT side and the INPUT terminal, by applying a measurement voltage for a
sucient period of time before starting a measurement.
