h. Measuring Capacitance
WARNING!
All capacitance measurements are to be made on
de-energized circuits with all capacitors discharged only.
Failure to de-energize and discharge capacitors before
attempting to measure them could result in instrument
damage and/or personal injury.
Instrument set-up:
FUNCTION BLACK RED MINIMUM MAXIMUM
TEST LEAD TEST LEAD READING READING
COM VΩ 0.1nF 400.0µF
Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2. Remove capacitor from the circuit and discharge it.
3. Plug black test lead into the COM input jack.
4. Plug the red test lead into the VΩ input jack.
5. Set the rotary switch to the function.
6. Connect test leads to capacitor to be measured.
7. Read the capacitor value on the LCD.
