CAUTION:
Always connect the test leads to the instrument
inputs first before connecting the DUT to avoid
potential shock hazard.
Follow these steps to make a capacitance measurement.
1. Connect the black test lead to the COM input. This will
connect to the negative side of your capacitor.
2. Connect the red test lead to the uAmA input. This
will connect to the positive side of your capacitor.
3. Probe with the test leads to the DUT and take the
measured reading on display.
4. When the capacitor to be tested is connected, if
“dIS.C” symbol is indicated on the LCD, it means there
is voltage present in the capacitor under test and it
needs to be discharged before testing can continue.

WARNING:
Do not apply more than 1000 V DC across the
terminals or they will be damaged.
