MEASURING CAPACITANCE
First, turn off power to the circuit, and disconnect and discharge the capacitor.
1.Insert test leads, and move the
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
