Measuring condensors
Caution!
Before attachment of the measurement leads, the object being tested must
be de-energised resp. the condensor must be discharged, so as not to da-
mage the device or the object being tested. In cases of doubt, the freedom
from energy must be proved by measurement.
• Place the function switch
q
at the position .
• Repeatedly press the button
FUNC.
r
until the indicator for the unit n F
(Nanofarad), for condensor measurements, appears in the display
z
.
• Insert the measuring leads into the input sockets
VΩ
7
and COM
8
.
• Connect the measurement prods with the object being tested and, espe-
cially with electrolytic condensors, pay heed to the correct polarity.
The capacity is shown, subject to the size of the examined condensor, in
microfarad (µF) or nanofarad (nF) in the display
z
.
Note:
When measuring condensors with high capacity it can take a while before
a measurement result is displayed (approx. 30 seconds at 200 µF).
