7.10 Measuring Capacitance:

WARNING!

Do not apply voltage or current to the meter when it is set

to the Capacitance “F ” ranges. Do not connect a charged capacitor to

the meter. Doing so may damage the meter or injure the user.

7.10.1 Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test
lead to the VOLT / DIODE / OHM / CAP “V Ω CAP” jack.

7.10.2 Set RANGE switch to the F position appropriate for the
measurement to be made.

7.10.3 Connect the test leads to the capacitor to be measured.
Observe proper polarity (if appropriate). Read value from
the LCD display.

7.10.4 If the display indicates overrange, i.e. “1- - -”, rotate the
RANGE switch to the next higher position and observe the
reading on the LCD display. If the RANGE switch is already at
its highest position (i.e. 200u F), and the reading exceeds
20.0, it should be considered inaccurate.
