Model 72-8150: OPERATING MANUAL
B. Capacitance Measurement (see figure 4)
The Meter’s capacitance ranges are:200pF, 2nF, 20nF,
200nF, 2µF, 20µF, 200µF, 2mF and 20mF.
To measure capacitance, connect the Meter as follows:
1.
2.
3.
To avoid damage to the Meter or to the equipment
under test, disconnect circuit power and discharge
all high-voltage capacitors before measuring
capacitance.
Set the rotary switch to F measurement mode. If the
value of capacitor to be measured is unknown, use the
minimum measurement position 200pF and increase
the range step by step until a satisfactory reading is
obtained and the overload icon "1" is not showing.
Insert the red test clip into the CAP + terminal and black
test clip into the CAP – terminal. For small value
capacitor measurement, insert the capacitor into the
Small Value Capacitance Jack.
When testing polarized capacitors, use the red test clip
on the capacitor’s positive lead, and the black test clip
on the capacitor’s negative lead. With non-polarized
