INTRODUCTION
B&K Precision’s 830C and 890C 11,000-count hand-
held capacitance meters measure capacitance and
include a capacitance sorting function. Simple to
operate, the instruments
can make quick
measurements and simplify the capacitance sorting
process.
Capacitance is measured by using a small DC voltage
signal that slightly charges the connected capacitor for
a short time. Unlike other handheld instruments such
as LCR meters, it does not use an AC signal with a
specific test frequency to make measurements.
Front panel push buttons maximize the convenience
of function and feature selection. The meters support
the following modes: Tolerance sorting mode,
relative mode, data hold, manual and auto range
mode, min/max/avg recording, and high/low limit
setting.
Test data can be transferred to a PC through a Mini
USB connection, which is useful for data logging
applications.
A tilt stand provides position flexibility for viewing and
operating the meter. The over-molding rubber case
