8.2. Capacitance measurement
WARNING:
If exists voltage in the capacitor, connect the two ends of the
capacitor for a short time to discharge. Otherwise the Device
can be damaged through overvoltage.
1. Turn on the power.
2. Insert the positive polarity of capacitance into the positive
terminal and its negative polarity into the negative terminal.
3. Insert the black and red testing lines with alligator clip into
the "L
CUR
" , "L
POT
" terminal and "H
CUR
" , "H
POT
" terminal
respectively. Connect the alligator clips to the two ends of
capacitance corresponding to its polarity.
4. The default test mode is Auto LCR mode, the capacitance
value will show on primary display and the dissipation
factor D will show on secondary display. In Auto LCR
mode, the D/Q/ESR key, SEL/PAL key, SORTING key and
REL% key are not available.
5. Press FUNC. key twice to select Auto-C mode. The
primary LCD display will show the capacitance value. The
secondary LCD display will show the dissipation factor D.
The quality factor Q, equivalent resistance ESR/Rp or
phase angle θ can also be shown by pressing the
D/Q/ESR key.
6. Press FREQ key to select frequency value: 100/120
Hz/1/10/100 kHz.
7. Press SER/PAL key to select series or parallel mode.
