4.1 Caution
1) Install battery carefully.
2) If the capacitor to be measured has polarity, connect it to the
meter with correct polarity connections. (+ to + jack, - to - jack)
3) Discharge the capacitor to be measured before measurement.
4) Never input voltage to sockets, it will cause damage.
5) Turn off the meter and remove test leads from the meter
before replacing battery or fuse.
4.2 Preparations
1) Before performing in-circuit capacitance measurement,
disconnect circuit power and discharge all capacitors.
2) Clean meter once a while if you use it in a dusty place.
3) Avoid exposing the meter to direct sunshine.
4) If you want to measure capacitor with the test leads, connect
the black test lead to the "_" jack and the red test lead to
the "+"jack.
4.3 Capacitance measurement
1) Set the rotary switch to the "200pF" position, then zero the
reading on the display with the "0 ADJ" knob.
2) Set the rotary switch the highest range position.
3) Connect the test leads to the capacitor or insert the cvapavitor
to the apacitance socket directly.
4) If the LCD displays a reading with one or more preceding
zeros, select a lower range to make the reading have more
numbers of significant digits.
If the overrange indicator "1" appears on the LCD, you should
set the rotary switch to a higher range position.
5) Read the reading on the display.(reading's unit is same as the
currently selected range's unit)
When" " appears on the LCD, replace the battery immediately.
Open the back cover, replace the exhausted battery with a new
one of the same type. Reinstal the back cober and the screws.
The meter uses a fuse : 500mA/ 250V, Fast action. To replace
fuse, open the back cover, replace the blown fuse with a new one
of the same ratings. Reinstall the back cover and the screws.
Whenever the meter operates abnormally or has malfunction,
stop using it, and have it repaired.
Don't use meter with back cover open.
Use wet cloth or a little detergent for cleaning only.
1) Test leads : 1 pair
2) Battery 9V (6F22) : 1 piece
3) Manual : 1 copy
