Capacities; Direct And Alternating Current (A And Ma) - Chauvin Arnoux C.A 5240G Bedienungsanleitung

Never measure capacity on a live circuit.
Always respect the polarity of the electrolytic condensers.
This type of condenser may be temperature-sensitive;
do not touch it, therefore, during measurement.
Plug the leads into the multimeter and connect to the condenser
terminals.
Put the switch in the capacitance meter position
Automatic measurement selection: read off the value measured
N.B. The bargraph is inhibited during capacitance measurement and the
digital display is limited to 4,000 counts.
To save the measurement, if required, press on the HOLD
button.
If necessary, press on the following buttons:
- RANGE to select the measurement manually
- MIN-MAX to read min. and max. values
- To light up the display

(1) For a Capacity of C > 20 µF, accuracy is ± 3.5 % R ± 5 ct
8 - DIRECT AND ALTERNATING CURRENT
Always disconnect the circuit to be tested before connecting
the multimeter to the circuit.
Be careful: plug the leads into the multimeter and connect in series
to the circuit:
- the red lead on the "+" Terminal, up to 400 mA
- the red lead on the "10 A" terminal, from 400 mA to 10 A
Put the switch in the ammeter A or mA position
Press on the ... — /~ button to select d.c. or a.c.
Reconnect the circuit to be tested to the power
Automatic measurement selection: read off the value measured
If necessary, press on the following buttons:
- RANGE to select the measurement manually
- MIN-MAX to read min. and max. values
- To light up the display
