MEASURING CAPACITANCE
(DAMP68 ONLY)
Ꮨƽ Warning
To avoid possible damage to the meter or other
equipment, turn off the power source and
discharge all high-voltage capacitors.
(1) Disconnect the capacitor from power.
(2) Short the capacitor’s terminals to discharge it.
(3) Disconnect any resistors between the
terminals of the capacitor.
(4) Set the rotary switch to the position.
Press the SHIFT button to select capacitance
measurement mode.
(5) Plug the black and red test leads into the
– and + input terminals, respectively.
(6) Connect the test leads to the terminals of the
capacitor.
(7) Read the measured capacitance value on the
display.
MEASURING FREQUENCY
(1) Turn the function switch to the
Hz position.
(2) Plug the black and red test leads into the
– and + input terminals, respectively.
(3) Measure the frequency by touching the red
probe to any point of a circuit, and the black
probe to circuit ground.
(4) Read the measured frequency on the display.
POWERING OFF
When you have finished using the meter, rotate
the function switch to the OFF position.
The meter enters Sleep mode and the display
goes blank if no buttons are pushed and no input
is received for 15 minutes. Press any button to
wake the meter up.

diode. An OL reading indicates an open diode.
In either case, the diode is defective and
should be replaced.
CHECKING FOR CONTINUITY
(1) Turn the function switch to the
(DAMP60)
or (DAMP68) position. Press the SHIFT
button to select continuity checking mode.
(2) Plug the black and red test leads into the
– and + input terminals, respectively.
(3) Touch the test leads to any two points of a
circuit. If the resistance between those points
is
р30⍀, the beeper will sound continuously.
MEASURING TEMPERATURE
(DAMP68 ONLY)
Ꮨƽ Warning
To avoid possible damage to the meter or
other equipment, remember that the included
“K” Type thermocouple is rated -40° to 752°F
(-40° to 400°C).
When the meter is not connected to the included
thermocouple, OL will be shown on the display.
(1) Turn the function switch to the
°C/°F position.
°C is the default setting. Press the SHIFT
button to select
°F.
(2) Plug the included “K” type thermocouple into
the meter's – and + terminals, making sure to
insert the pin marked + into the + terminal.
(3) Read the measured temperature on the
display.
