Measuring Capacitance - Metrix MTX204 Manual De Instrucciones

1. Turn the rotary switch to
the circuit to be measured.
2. Press the yellow button twice.
3. Connect the red test probe to the
anode side and black test lead to the
cathode side of the diode being
tested.
4. Read the forward bias voltage value
on the display.
5. If the polarity of the test leads is
reversed with diode polarity or forward
bias voltage is above 3V, the display
reading shows OL.
This can be used to distinguish the anode and
cathode sides of the diode.

Measuring capacitance

To avoid measurement errors and the risk of an electric shock, before making
capacitance measurements on a circuit,
check that there is no voltage in the circuit.
Only Autorange is available in this mode.
1. Turn the rotary switch to
sure power is disconnected
from the circuit to be measured.
2. Connect the red test lead to the +
terminal and the black test lead to the
COM terminal.
3. Press the yellow button three times.
4. Touch the probes to the capacitor
leads.
5. After allowing reading to stabilize, read
the capacitance value on the display.
In the capacitance range 100mF the measure can be
make sure power is disconnected from
