6.6. Measuring Frequency
Warning! If you try to measure the frequency of a signal that
exceeds 1000V AC
rms
, you might damage your meter and expose
yourself to a severe shock hazard.
Follow these steps to measure the frequency of a signal
1. Set the rotary selector to Hz.
2. Plug the black test lead into your meter’s COM terminal and the
red test lead into you meter’s V//Hz/ - terminal.
3. Connect the test leads to the frequency source.
Warning! When you connect the test leads to an AC outlet, do not
turn the function rotary selector to another range. It could damage
the meter’s internal components or injure you.
Note: For the most accurate measurements, we strongly
recommend you to use a BNC cable with ferrite core.
6.7. Capacitance measurements
WARNING! To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit
under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any
capacitance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the
line cords.
1. Set the function switch to the "┤├" - position.
2. Plug the black test lead into yours meter’s COM – terminal and
the red test lead into your meter’s V//Hz/ -terminal.
3. Set the RANGE-button to the correct measuring range.
4. Press the REL-button to bring the display to zero.
5. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested. The display
will indicate the proper decimal point value.
