If your Peak Measuring Instruments display shows 'Auto discharge taking too long!', it's advised to manually discharge the capacitor safely before attempting the analysis again.
What to do if Peak Measuring Instruments display shows 'Warning! V=132V Safely discharge'?
If the Peak Measuring Instruments display shows 'Warning! V=132V Safely discharge', you should safely discharge the capacitor manually.
What to do if Peak Measuring Instruments display shows 'In)Circuit/Leaky' even though it’s a new capacitor and out'of' circuit on Peak?
If your Peak Measuring Instruments display shows 'In)Circuit/Leaky' even with a new capacitor out of circuit, try measuring it again a few times. This 'exercising' of the capacitor may resolve the issue.
Why does my Peak Atlas ESR Measuring Instruments display show 'Removing trace charge'?
The message 'Removing trace charge' on your Peak Measuring Instruments indicates the device has detected potential 'Soakage' or 'Dielectric Absorption' in the attached capacitor, which is normal. The instrument is ensuring the capacitor is fully discharged to prevent voltage build-up after the discharge process.
