6.6. Capacitance measurements
Caution!
Turn off power and discharge the capacitor before attempting a
capacitance measurement. Use the DCV function to confirm that the
capacitor is discharged.
1. Set the Function/Range switch to CAP (capacitance).
2. Connect the test leads to the capacitor. Observe polarity when
measuring polarized capacitors.
3. Read the capacitance directly from the display. A shorted
capacitor will indicate an overrange. An open capacitor will
indicate near zero on all ranges.
4. For maximum accuracy, step to the desired range in manual ranging,
then press the REL Δ button to zero out test lead capacitance before
the measurement.
6.7. Temperature measurements
1. Select the required temperature range and unit of measurement (°C of
°F) by turning the rotary selector switch dial to °C or °F position.
Connect the thermocouple adaptor to the V//CAP/Hz/Temp.- and
COM input terminal.
2. Connect a type K thermocouple to the thermocouple input
terminal on the thermocouple adaptor.
3. Place the thermocouple junction tip at the point where the
temperature is to be measured.
Note:
For very high temperatures the multimeter must be kept far enough away
from the source of temperature to avoid heat damage. At high
temperatures, the life of the temperature probe will be reduced.
