10mF 10µF
To Measure Capacitance:
1. Turn the power off to the circuit or device that is to be measured and discharge all capacitors before
attempting a measurement.
2. Plug the Black test lead into the COM port and the Red test lead into the VΩHz port.
3. Set the rotary switch to the __ position.
4. Measure capacitance.
Temperature Measurements
Temperature Resolution Accuracy Accuracy
Range (61-494) (61-495)
-200°C ~ -100°C 0.1°C ±(0.1% +6°C) ±(0.1% +6oC)
-100°C ~ 1200°C 1°C ±(0.1% +3°C) ±(0.1% +3oC)
To Measure Temperature
1. Plug the temperature probe and adapter into the COM the VΩHz port.
2. Set the rotary switch to the °C °F position.
3. For correct reading, ensure that the device being tested contains no voltage.
4. Press the blue button to chose between a °C or °F display.
Multiply the accuracy by 2 for °F
Input protection: 600V rms
Note: The readings <360°C on 1°C resolution range when settled as manual range, display reads “Er” to
change to lower range for best measurements.
Diode Testing
Diode Check:
To ensure a proper functioning diode, the meter will develop a voltage across the component from a test
current. The diode test function allows measurements of forward voltage drops across diode and transistor
junctions.
1. Turn off power to the device or circuit that is being tested and discharge all capacitors.
2. Plug the Black test lead into the COM port and the Red test lead into the VΩHz port.
3. Set the rotary switch to the position.
4. Press the blue button until is shown on the display
5. Connect the test leads to the diode.
Forward bias: Good = 0.4 to 0.9V
Bad = 0 or ≥ 2.0V
Reverse bias: Good = OL
Bad = <2.0V
Test current: 1.1mA (typical)
Open circuit voltage: 3.3VDC (max)
Input Protection: 600V rms
