7. Read the capacitor value on the LCD.
i. Measuring Frequency
WARNING!
Never attempt a frequency measurement with a
voltage source greater than 600V. Determine the
voltage of any unknown frequency source before
connecting the instrument in frequency mode.
Instrument set-up:
FUNCTION BLACK RED MINIMUM MAXIMUM
TEST LEAD TEST LEAD READING READING
Hz COM V
Ω Hz 0.01Hz
200.00KHz
Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power to circuit to be measured.
2. Plug black test lead into the COM input jack.
3. Plug red test lead into the V Ω Hz input jack.
4. Set the rotary switch to the Hz function.
5. Reconnect power to circuit to be measured.
6. Read the frequency on the LCD.
h. Measuring Capacitance
WARNING!
All capacitance measurements are to be made
on de-energized circuits with all capacitors
discharged only. Failure to de-energize and dis-
charge capacitors before attempting to measure
them could result in instrument damage and/or
personal injury.
