• When diode testing has been completed, disconnect the connection 
between the testing leads and the circuit under test, and remove the 
testing leads away from the input terminals of the Meter.
F. Capacitance Measurement (See figure 8)
Warning
To avoid damage to the Meter or to the equipment under test,
disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before measuring capacitance. Use the DC Voltage function to
confirm that the capacitor is discharged.
The Meter's capacitance ranges are: 4.000nF, 40.00nF, 400.0nF,
4.000µF, 40.00µF, and 200.0µF. To measure capacitance, connect the
Meter as follows:
1. Insert the red test lead into the
HzΩ terminal and the black 
test lead into the COM terminal.
2. Model UT205: Set the rotary switch to
.
Model UT206: Set the rotary switch to
Ω and press BLUE 
button to select
measurement mode.
3. Connect the test leads across with the object being measured.
The measured value shows on the display.
Note
• For testing the capacitor with polarity, connect the red clip to anode 
& black clip to cathode instead of test leads as mentioned above.
• To minimize the effect of capacitance stored in the test leads, the 
test lead should be as short as possible. To measure a small value 
of capacitor, use REL mode to remove the test leads capacitance. 
Remaining voltage, insulated impedance, & dielectric absorption 
from the capacitor may cause the measurement error.
• It takes a longer time when testing a high capacitor value. The 
testing time is around 30 seconds in 200µF range.
