7.7 Capacitance Measurement
1. Turn the rotary to " " position.
2. Connect the black test pen to the "COM" jack and the red pen to the jack.
3. Measure the capacitance value of the circuit under test with the other two ends of the test pens. The
reading will be displayed in the LCD display window.
Notes:
● Measurement of a large capacitor takes a certain amount of time.
● Pay attention to the polarity of the capacitor to connect it correctly to protect the meter.
To avoid damage to the meter or device under test, all power to the circuit under test should
be cut off before measuring capacitance. All high-voltage capacitors should be fully discharged.
