5.5 Measuring Capacitance
Warning!
When shorting capacitors (discharge), high energy discharge may
take place. Use Caution! Do not touch the terminals if there are
capacitors with voltage over 35 V DC or 25 V AC. Use special
caution in environments or rooms with adverse environmental
conditions where flammable gases, steams or dusts may exist.
Warning!
Never attempt to measure the capacitance of a charged capacitor,
it might damage the meter.
Note:
Before measuring, give the unit about 2~3 seconds to stabilize.
1. Set the function switch to the "-II-" - position.
2. Plug the black test lead into yours meter’s COM – terminal
and the red test lead into your meter’s V/Ω-terminal.
3. Set the RANGE-button to the correct measuring range.
4. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested. The display
will indicate the proper decimal point value.
5. Read the capacitance value on the LCD-display.
5.6 Inductance Measurements
Warning!
Never attempt to measure or connect voltage, it may damage the
meter.
This function lets you measure cables or coils of 6mH to 600mH.
Follow these steps to measuring Inductance:
1. Set the function switch to the “mH” position.
2. Plug the black test lead into the COM-input jack and the red
test lead into the V/Ω-input jack.
3. Connect the test leads to the object to be measured.
