Figure 3-5 Measuring Capacitance
The Meter's capacitance ranges are 60.00nF, 600.0nF,
6.000

F, 60.00

F and 300.0

F.
To measure capacitance (set up the Meter as shown in
Figure 3-5):
1. Set the rotary switch to
range.
2. Connect the black and red test leads to the COM and
terminals respectively (or you can use capacitor test
lead).
3. Connect the test leads to the capacitor being measured
and read the displayed value.
Some tips for measuring capacitance:
 The meter may take a few seconds(>30 seconds in
300.0uF range) to stabilize reading. This is normal for
high capacitance measuring.
 To improve the accuracy of measurements less than
60nF, subtract the residual capacitance of the Meter and
leads.
 Below 600pF, the accuracy of measurements is
unspecified.
3.2.6 Frequency and Duty Cycle measurement
Do not measure Frequency on high voltage (>1000V) to avoid electrical shock hazard and/or
damage to the instrument.
