CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENT

Before carrying out capacitance measurements on circuits or capacitors, cut
off power supply from the circuit being tested and let all capacitance in it be
discharged.
Fig. 8: Use of the instrument for Capacitance measurement
1. Select the position.
2. If necessary, press the Hz/0 key to activate the Relative capacitance
measurement (see § 4.2.3). The symbol "0" flashes and the value on the display
is zeroed.
3. Use the RANGE key for manually selecting the measuring range (see § 4.2.6) or use
Autorange selection. If the value of capacitance is unknown, select the highest range.
4. Insert the red cable into input lead Hz°CV
5. Position the leads at the ends of the capacitor to be tested, respecting, if necessary, the
positive (red cable) and negative (black cable) polarity on the capacitor to be tested (see
Fig. 8). The display shows the value of capacitance.
The message "OL" indicates that the value of capacitance exceeds the maximum

measurable value.
7. For using the HOLD function, see § 4.2.1, for measuring MAX/MIN/AVG values see §
4.2.2 and for saving the result, see § 4.2.5
