Performing Capacitance and Temperature Measurements

Capacitance
1 Set the rotary switch to .
2 Connect the red and black test leads to input terminals (red) and COM (black) respectively.
3 Connect the red test lead to the positive terminal of the capacitor, and the black test lead to the negative terminal.
4 Read the display.

Temperature

1 Set the rotary switch to .

Press

to select

temperature measurement.

2 Connect the red and black test leads to input terminals (red) and COM (black) respectively.

Frequency and Frequency Counter Measurements

Frequency Measurement

During AC/DC voltage or AC/DC current measurements, you can measure the signal frequency by

pressing

at any time.

Frequency Counter Measurement

1 Set the rotary switch to .

2 Press

to select the frequency counter ( ) function. The default

input signal frequency is divided by 1. This allows signals up to a

maximum frequency of 985 kHz to be measured.

3 Connect the red and black test leads to input terminals V (red) and COM (black) respectively.

4 Probe the test points and read the display.

5 If the reading is unstable or zero, press

to select division of

input signal frequency by 100 ( will be shown on the display).

This accommodates a higher frequency range of up to 20 MHz.

6 The signal is out of the U1253A frequency measurement range of 20 MHz if the reading is still unstable after Step 5.

WARNING

Use the frequency counter for low voltage applications. Never use the frequency counter on AC power line systems.

Square Wave Output

1 Turn the rotary switch to

.

2 Press

to select duty cycle (%) on the primary display.

3 The default square wave frequency is 600 Hz as shown by the secondary display, with a 50% duty cycle as shown by the primary display.

4 Press or to scroll through the available frequencies (there are 28 frequencies to choose from).

5 Press or to adjust the duty cycle. The duty cycle can be set from 0.390625% to 99.609375%, in steps of 0.390625%. The displayed duty cycle has a resolution of 0.001%.

When Charging the Battery...
CAUTION

· Do not rotate the rotary switch from

position when charging the battery.

· Perform battery charging only with 7.2 V or 8.4 V NiMH rechargeable battery, 9 V

size.

· Disconnect test leads from all the terminals when charging the battery.

· Ensure proper insertion of battery in the multimeter, and follow the correct polarity.

· A new rechargeable battery comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use (refer to the U1253A User's and Service Guide for charging instructions). Upon initial use (or after a prolonged storage period) the rechargeable battery may require three to four charge/discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity. To discharge, simply run the multimeter under the rechargeable battery's power until it shuts down or low battery warning appears.

· The multimeter may indicate that charging is complete after a few ten minutes when charging a new rechargeable battery. This is a normal phenomenon with rechargeable batteries. Remove the rechargeable battery from the device, reinsert it and repeat the charging procedure.
