CAUTION

Capacitance Measurement

Procedure:

1 Press to power-on the meter.

2 To test for capacitance, keep an open circuit on

the test leads and press to subtract the
residual capacitance of the meter and leads.

3 Insert the capacitor legs into + and – input

terminals respectively. Ensure that the polarity
of the capacitor’s leg are correct.

4 Remove your hands from capacitor to allow it

to be tested.

5 Read the measurement on the display.

To avoid possible damage to the meter or the
equipment under test, disconnect circuit power and
discharge the capacitor before measuring
capacitance.
