4. e to the measurement As a first approximation the test lead capacitance may be measured by opening the leads at the trips recording the open circuit value and subtracting that value e Capacitors especially electrolytic often have notoriously wide tolerances Do not be surprised if the measured value is greater than the value marked on the capacitor unless it is a close tolerance type However value is seldom drastically below the rated value f If changing range measured value will be changed leakage voltage capacitors will be checked also Leakage resistance will be decreased in lower range 3 4 AUTO POWER OFF The meter will be into sleeping mode when it stopped work for 20minutes Please restart the power if you need to continue to measure 3 5 MAINTENANCE Do not try to modify the electric circuit 3 5 1 Keep the meter away from water dust and shock 3 5 2 Do not store and operate the meter under the condition of high temperature high humidity combustible explosive and strong magnetic place 3 5 3 Wipe the case with a damp cloth and detergent do not use abrasives and alcohol 3 5 4 If do not operate for a long time should take out the battery to avoid leakage 3 5 5 When signal displays should replace the battery following the steps 3 5 5 1 Take off the holster see fig 2 3 5 5 2 Unlock the screw and remove the battery case 3 5 5 3 Take out the old battery and replace the new one
