h. MEASURING CAPACITANCE
CAUTION!
Disconnect power to the circuit(s) to be
measured. Discharge the capacitorto be
measured completely before attempting to
measure.
Instrument set-up:
FUNCTION BLACK RED MINIMUM MAXIMUM
TEST LEAD TEST LEAD READING READING
CAP COM V WHz 0.01nF 4000uF
Measurement Procedure:
1. Disconnect power and discharge the capacitor to be
measured.
2. Plug the black test lead into the COM input jack.
3. Plug the red test lead into the V WHz input jack.
4. Set the rotary switch to the CAP function.
5. Connect the test leads to the capacitor to be
measured.
6. Read the capacitance on the 183A.
