4.4.8. Capacitance measurement
CAUTION
Before carrying out capacitance measurements on circuits or capacitors, cut
off power supply from the circuit being tested and let all capacitance in it be
discharged
Fig. 9: Capacitance measurement
1. Select the position
 /
2. Press MODE key to activate capacitance measurement
3. Insert the red cable into input lead
V
 and the black cable into input lead COM
4. Press the RANGE key to activate manual range selection (see § 4.2.1) or use the
Autorange feature. If the capacitance value is unknown select the maximum range
5. Position the leads at the ends of the capacitor to be tested, respecting the indicated
polarity. The value of capacitance is shown on the display with automatic range
selection
6. The message “O.L” indicates that the capacitance being measured exceeds the
maximum value measurable by the instrument.
7. For Maximum and Minimum value measurement and HOLD function please refer to §
4.2
