Capacitance Measurements
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under
test and discharge all capacitors before taking any capacitance
measurements.
Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the green Ω CAP position.
2. Press the soft key labeled Menu. Move the menu selector to the
menu item labeled Cap. Press the soft key Cap.
3. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM
jack. Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive V jack.
4. Read the capacitance value in the Display.
DC Current Measurements
CAUTION: Do not make 20A current measurements for longer than
30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the meter
and/or the test leads.
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM
jack.
2. For current measurements up to 5000µA DC, set the function
switch to the yellow µA position and insert the red test lead
banana plug into the µA/mA jack.
3. For current measurements up to500mA DC, set the function
switch to the yellow mA position and insert the red test lead
banana plug into the µA/mA jack.
4. For current measurements up to 10A DC, set the function
switch to the yellow 10A position and insert the red test lead
banana plug into the 10A jack.
5. Press the MODE button to indicate “DC” on the display.
6. Read the current in the display.
AC Current Measurements
CAUTION: Do not make 10A current measurements for longer than
30 seconds. Exceeding 30 seconds may cause damage to the
meter and/or the test leads.
1. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative COM
jack
2. For current measurements up to 5000µA AC, set the function
switch to the yellow µA position and insert the red test lead
banana plug into the µA/mA jack.
3. For current measurements up to 500mA AC, set the function
switch to the yellow mA position and insert the red test lead
banana plug into the µA/mA jack.
