4.4 Motståndsmätning

1. Insert the red test lead into the "VHz" jack and the black test lead into the "COM" jack.
2. Rotate the rotary switch to the "Ω" (Resistance) range.
3. Ensure the component to be measured is de-energized. Connect the test probes across the component.
4. Läs av resistansvärdet.

4.5 Kapacitansmätning

1. Insert the red test lead into the "VHz" jack and the black test lead into the "COM" jack.
2. Rotate the rotary switch to the "F" (Capacitance) range.
3. Se till att kondensatorn är helt urladdad före mätning för att förhindra skador på mätaren.
4. Anslut testproberna över kondensatorns terminaler.
