h. MEASURING CAPACITANCE
CAUTION!
Disconnect power to the circuit(s) to be
measured. Discharge the capacitorto be
measured completely before attempting to
measure.
Instrument set-up:
FUNCTION BLACK RED MINIMUM MAXIMUM
TEST LEAD TEST LEAD READING READING
CAP COM V
W
Hz 0.01nF 4000uF
Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power and discharge the capacitor to be
measured.
2. Plug the black test lead into the COM input jack.
3. Plug the red test lead into the V
W
Hz input jack.
4. Set the rotary switch to the CAP function.
5. Connect the test leads to the capacitor to be
measured.
6. Read the capacitance on the EEDM504D.
Optional Functions:
i. MEASURING FREQUENCY
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to make a frequency
measurement if a test lead is plugged in the
A or µmA input jack. Instrument damage
and/or personal injury may result.
