MEASURING CAPACITANCE

First, turn off power to the circuit, and disconnect and discharge the capacitor.

1. Insert test leads, and move the slide-switch to [E]. (See Figure 6.)

2. Press [E]. The capacitance function is selected and µF is displayed.

3. Touch the probes to the capacitor. When measuring polarized capacitors, be sure

to connect the positive to [2] and the negative to COM. Capacitor dielectric

absorption can cause measurement errors. If more discharge is necessary, the

meter displays “dISC” while the capacitor is discharging.

To exit capacitance, press [E] or [g], or move the slide-switch to another position.
