5. Operation
5.1. General instructions
However, electrical noise or intense electromagnetic fields in
the
equipment
may
disturb
Measuring instruments will also respond to unwanted signals
that may be present within the measurement circuit. Users
should exercise care and take appropriate precautions to avoid
misleading results when making measurements in the
presence of electronic interference.
5.2. Capacitance
WARNING ! Discharge capacitor before trying to measure
it !
1. Set the Function/Range switch to the desired range
2. Insert the test leads directly into the socket or test leads
socket CX.
3. Read the capacitance directly from the display
Note
In lower range subtract residual offset reading from the result
with test leads opening.
WARNING !
Never apply an external voltage to socket damage to the
meter may result.

circuit.
1. Set the Function/Range switch to the desired range
2. Insert the red test lead into Ω
black test lead into COM-socket.
3. Read the resistance directly from the display
Note
*
The resistance in the test leads can diminish accuracy
on the lowest (200 Ω) range. The error is usually 0.1 to
0.2 Ω for a standard pair of test leads. To determine the
error, short the test leads together and then use the
(REL) Relative mode to automatically subtract the lead
resistance from resistance measurements.
*
For high resistance measurement (>1MΩ), it is normal
taking several seconds to obtain a stable reading.
5.4. Diode Test
WARNING !
To avoid damages to the Meter or to the devices under test,
disconnect circuit power and discharge all the high-voltage,
capacitors before measuring diodes and continuity.
