Measuring Capacitance (See Figure 7)
1. Set the Function Switch to the � function.
2. If RANGE is displayed, press the RANGE button to enable auto ranging.
3. Connect the test leads: Red to COM, Black to A�.
4. Turn off power to the circuit being measured.
5. Discharge the capacitor using a 100 kΩ resistor.
6. Free at least one end of the capacitor from the circuit.
7. Connect the test leads across the capacitor. When measuring an electrolytic
capacitor match the test lead polarity to the polarity of the capacitor.
8. Read the display.
Measuring Frequency (See Figure 8)
1. Set the Function Switch to Hz.
2. If RANGE is displayed, press the RANGE button to enable auto ranging.
3. Connect the test leads: Red to Temp VΩHz, Black to COM.
4. Connect the test leads to the signal source.
5. Read the display.
Measuring Temperature (See Figure 9)
1. Set the Function Switch to °C or °F.
2. Connect the K-type thermocouple to a TEMP adapter (TA-1A); match the polarity
of the adapter to the polarity of the thermocouple.
3. Connect the TEMP adapter to the Temp VΩHz and COM inputs.
Note: The HD160C is compatible with all K-type thermocouples. The K-type bead
thermocouple supplied with the meter is not intended for contact with liquids or
electrical circuits.
4. Expose the thermocouple to the temperature to be measured.
5. Read the display.
