Digital Capacitance Meter
Manufacturer: Duncan Instruments
Model: DI 200C
Description
Gives a direct reading of capacitance on a 3.5 digit LCD display. Nine ranges give precision readings from 0.1 pF to 20,000 uF.

Operating Instructions
- Observe Polarity when connecting polarized capacitors.
- Full discharge any capacitors.
- Never apply voltage to the test jacks.
- Set power switch to "ON" position.
- Select the range switch for the maximum expected capacitance.
- Check the zero display adjustment to read zero (limited to approximately ±20 pF).
- Connect the alligator clips to the capacitor leads.
- Read the display in the units that your range is on
- If the display is "1" then go to a higher range
