h) 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.
- Switch on the DMM and select measuring range
- Plug the red measuring line into the V measuring socket (7) and
the black measuring line into the COM measuring socket (8).
- The display shows the unit "nF".
Due to the sensitive measuring input, the display may
show a value if the measuring lines are "open". By pressing
the button "REL/PC", the display is set to "0". The basic val-
ue (rel difference) is displayed in the upper, small display.
The autorange feature is deactivated.
- Now connect the two test prods (red = plus/black = minus) with the
object to be measured (capacitator). After a short while 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
measuring range.
- After measuring, remove the measuring lines from the measured object and turn off the DMM.
