Capacitance Meters & Transistor Testers
Component Testers
The 830C and 890C are 11,000-count
handheld capacitance meters that measure
capacitance up to 200 mF and 50 mF
respectively. Straightforward to operate,
these meters make measurements quickly
and simplify the capacitance sorting process.
Unlike other handheld instruments such as
LCR meters that make measurements using
an AC signal with a specific test frequency,
these meters measure capacitance by
applying a constant current that briefly
charges, then discharges the connected
capacitor. The compare mode which supports
25 sets of High/Low limits, provides a con-
venient means to sort capacitors without
needing to set up the meter each time. Data
logging, Hold/Min/Max Average recording,
tolerance, and relative mode features offer
additional component troubleshooting tools.

odel 810C
The 810C is a compact manual ranging
capacitance meter, designed for accurate
cost-effective measurement of capacitive
components. It features fused direct-plug-in
test sockets, test lead jacks, and a zero adjust-
ment knob to "zero" test lead capacitance.
