Capacitance Measurement

Procedure:

1Press to power-on the meter.

2To test for capacitance, keep an open circuit on

the test leads and press to subtract the

residual capacitance of the meter and leads.

3Insert the capacitor legs into + and – input

terminals respectively. Ensure that the polarity

of the capacitor’s leg are correct.

4Remove your hands from capacitor to allow it

to be tested.

5Read the measurement on the display.

CAUTION

To avoid possible damage to the meter or the

equipment under test, disconnect circuit power and

discharge the capacitor before measuring

capacitance.

To enable recording function

– The beeper will beep when a new MAX or MIN

value has been recorded.

– The static recording captures stable values and

updates the memory. It will not record values that

are overloaded, OL or below 10 count value.

Press

To cycle through maximum, minimum, average, and

present readings

–MAX, MIN, AVG or MAX AVG MIN annunciator will

be turned on respectively to indicate which value

is being displayed

ENGLISH

To enable relative function

– Relative function shows the difference between

the measured value and the offset reference value.

The display may show a non-zero value due to the

presence of test leads. Use the relative function to

nullify the residual.

– Relative function can operate in both auto and

manual ranging mode but the function cannot be

set when an overload value exists.

–REL annuciator will be displayed.

Press

To renew the relative value Press again

To exit relative mode Press for

more than 1 s

To select manual range and to turn off the AUTO

annunciator Press

To step up a range at a time Press again

To select auto-range

– In auto range mode, the AUTO annunciator is

displayed and the instrument will select an

appropriate range for resolution if the reading is

greater than the maximum available range. OL will

be displayed.

– The instrument will select a lower range when the

reading is less than 9% of full scale.

Press for

more than 1 s

To enable the tolerance mode and to set the display

value as a standard reference

–TOL annunciator will be displayed.

To cycle through 1%, 5%, 10% and 20% tolerance

– will be indicated.

– Beeper will beep once if the test value is within the

selected tolerance. If the test value is out of the

tolerance, the beeper will beep three times.

– This mode cannot be enabled under the following

conditions:

– After setting the recording mode

– After setting the compare mode

– Display showing either OL or below 10 counts

Press

momentarily

To enable compare mode

– Measuring range will be locked

– will be displayed and the secondary display

will indicate C# #, meaning which set has been

used for compare mode. The two right digits

indicate current compare set. The # # range from

01 to 25.

– The primary display shows the present

measurement. In this state, it is ready for testing.

– If the reading is beyond the high limit, will be

indicated. will be indicated if the reading is

out of the low limit. The beeper will beep three

times and the secondary display will indicate nGo.

– If the reading is within the high and low limits, the

beeper will beep once, and the secondary display

will indicate Go. After three seconds or when the

reading is lower than 10 counts, the instrument

will return to its ready state.

– The secondary display will indicate C01 to C25

according to the comparison record that has been

selected.

To exit compare mode Press

To view the High/Low limit value to be used as

compare mode Press

momentarily

To cycle through HI limit, LO limit, and present values

on the primary display

– The secondary display showed as H # #, L # # and

C # # respectively.

– After three seconds without pressing this button

again, it will return to the present value display.

Press

To toggle HI and LO limits for adjustment Press

momentarily

To enter HI/LO limits setting mode

– The secondary display will flash H01 and the

primary display will indicate the value of HI limit.

– The following buttons will be used for this setting

mode:

– To select which digit to be adjusted

– To increase or decrease the current digit’s

value

– To select High or Low limit to be set.

– To store the setting value in the memory. The

beeper will beep twice if the selected value has

been stored. If the current setting do not meet

the rule that the high limit must be equal or

greater than the low limit, the beeper will beep

three times.

– To select next compare setting. To cycle

through L01 (or H01) to L25 (or H25), then

return to L01 (H01) setting.
