K) Capacity Measuring - VOLTCRAFT VC-460 E Bedienungsanleitung

k) 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
"Capacity"
- Plug the red measuring line into the Ω measuring jack (E)
and the black measuring line into the COM measuring jack
(D).
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 autorange feature is deactivat-
ed. This is recommended for small capacities in
the nF range.
- Connect the two measuring prods (red = plus/black = mi-
nus) 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 sec-
onds for capacities of >40 µF.
- If "OL" (overload) appears on the display, you have ex-
ceeded the measuring range.
- Remove the measuring lines from the object to be meas-
ured after completion of the measurement and switch off
the DMM.
