5.7 Capacitance measurement
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Disconnect the power supply
from the tested capacitor and discharge all capacitors
before any starting capacity measurements.
To perform the measurement:
set the rotary switch at Ω
connect black test lead to COM terminal, and red test lead to
VΩ
CAP terminal,
press MODE button to display F on the screen,
contact the probe tips to the tested capacitor,
read the measurement result on the display.
5.8 Low Z measurement (elimination of interference
and induced voltages)
Measurement function in 'Low Z' mode eliminates the influence
of interference voltages or induced voltages, making the measure-
ment more accurate and reliable. These voltages may occur due to
capacitive coupling between the live conductors and the unused
conductors located in the vicinity.
To perform the measurement:
set the rotary switch at V
press MODE button to display the following symbol:
, if an alternating voltage is to be measured,
, if a constant voltage is to be measured,
connect black test lead to COM terminal, and red test lead to
VΩ
CAP,
contact probe blades to measurement points (for DC circuits:
connect red probe to the positive pole),
read the measurement result on the display.
