Measuring Frequency; Capacitance Measurements - PeakTech 3335 Mode D'emploi

6.4. Measuring Frequency

Warning!
If you try to measure the frequency of a signal that exceeds 250V AC
you might damage your meter and expose yourself to a severe shock
hazard.
Follow these steps to measure the frequency of a signal:
1. Set the rotary selector to FREQ.
2. Plug the black test lead into your meter's COM terminal and the
red test lead into you meter's V//CAP/Hz/Temp.-terminal.
3. Connect the test leads to the frequency source.
Warning! When you connect the test leads to an AC outlet, do not turn the
function rotary selector to another range. It could damage the meter's
internal components or injure you.
Note: For the most accurate measurements, we strongly recommend you
to use a BNC cable with ferrite core.

6.5. Capacitance measurements

Warning!
To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under test and
discharge all capacitors before taking any capacitance measurements.
Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords.
1. Set the function switch to the CAP position.
2. Plug the black test lead into your meter's COM terminal and the
red test lead into your meter's V//CAP/Hz/Temp.- terminal.
3. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested. The display will
indicate the proper decimal point value.
