1) GENERAL OVERVIEW
• This capacitance meter is able to measure capacitance of capacitor. It
will not measure the Q factor of reactive components. Incorrect readings
can be displayed when trying to measure the capacitance of resistive
loads.
• When measuring capacitance, make sure that the component or circuit
under test is de-energized before make measurements.
• Avoid to short circuit the test leads.
• Instruments used in aggressive environments must be cleaned and
send to calibration periodically.
• Before replace the battery or the fuse, make sure that the meter is
turned off and disconnected from any circuit or component.
• To make measurements, the black test lead must be connected at
negative terminal “-” and the red test lead to positive terminal “+”.
• Before measurements of electrolytic capacitors, make sure that is
fully discharged.
• To guarantee the accuracy of measurement, do not touch the terminals
during the measurement.
• Do not allow that the instrument to be exposed to high temperatures and
the direct incidence of sunlight to avoid the reduction of LCD life.
• At low capacitance measurements we recommend to adjust the zero
reading with the test leads opened before the measurement.
2) FEATURES

• Internal circuit with high durability and reliability.
• Build-in overload protection.
• Low consumption LCD display and easy to read even in low light
environments.
