I) Capacity Measuring - VOLTCRAFT VC-420 Bedienungsanleitung

i) Capacity Measuring

Make sure that all circuit parts, circuits and components and other objects of measurement are
disconnected from the voltage and discharged.
Always observe polarity with electrolyte capacitors.
- Turn the DMM on and select measuring function "CAP".
- Press "MODE" button 3x to switch measurement functions. The
display shows the unit "nF" for capacity measurement. Pressing this
button again takes you to the next measuring function, etc.
- Plug the red measuring line into the Ω measuring jack (7) and the
black measuring line into the COM measuring jack (8).
Due to the sensitive measuring input, the display may show a
value if the measuring lines are "open". By pressing the button
"REL", the display is set to "0". The Auto range function remains
active.
- Connect the two measuring prods (red = plus/black = minus) with the
object to be measured (capacitator). After a short time the display
shows the capacity. Wait until the displayed value has stabilised. This
may take a few seconds for capacities of >40 µF.
- If "OL" (overload) appears on the display, you have exceeded the
measurement range.
- Remove the measuring lines from the object to be measured after
completion of the measurement and switch off the DMM.
