Connect the red test probe tip to the positive side of the
circuit.

8. Apply power to the circuit.

9. Read the current on the LCD display.

Notes:
Use the RANGE button to manually select current ranges.
Use the REL button to ‘zero’ a reading.
Use the Hz% button to measure the Frequency or Duty
Cycle of an AC current.
Use the HOLD button to freeze a reading or turn on the
Backlight.

Measuring Capacitance

1. Insert the black test lead into the COM jack and the red

test into the “V/Hz%/Ω/Cap/Temp” jack.

2. Set the Function Switch to the CAP position.

3. If the reading on the LCD display is not zero (this is

normal), press the REL button to zero the display.

4. Touch the test probe tips to the part under test.

5. Read the capacitance value on the display.

Notes:
NEVER TEST ‘CHARGED’ CAPACITORS. Attempting to do
so may result in damage to the product or injury to the user.
The capacitance ranges cannot be manually selected.
Capacitors larger than 10uF may take several seconds to
measure.
