HOLD ACCURACY
all specs between 180 & 1999 counts same as Auto: for all readings between 0
and 179 counts add: 0.1% for full scale to 19.99 mF; 0.5% of full scale from
19.99 mF to 199.9 mF.
READING TIME 0.4-1.0 sec to 20 mF; increasing to 6 sec at 200 mF.
ZERO CONTROL Can compensate up to 2000 pF of test lead capacitance.

Model 810C
Capacitance Meter
The Model 810C Capacitance Meter is a
compact capacitance meter, designed for
accurate measurement of capacitive compo-
nents. It features direct plug-in test sockets
and test lead jacks. A zero adjustment knob is also provided to “zero”
test lead capacitance.
Model 830A
Capacitance Meter
The Model 830A Capacitance Meter is a
highly accurate capacitance meter It is
fully autoranging and can be powered
from a choice of alkaline betteries or from
AC/DC adapter/charger (sold separately).
A selectable range hold feature provides
for fast batch testing of large value capacitors.
Model 890
The Model 890 Capacitance Meter features a
large LCD with dual display, 5,000 counts resolu-
tion, and 10 automatically selected ranges with full
scale value from 0.1pF to 50mF. Designed to meet
the latest international safety standards, the
meter’s dedicated chip and microprocessor allow
programmable high/low limits or pre-programmed
standard capacitor tolerances, making it ideal for
measuring values, inspection, sorting capacitors and testing capacitors
against standard tolerances. Optional software and cabling is available
for PC based data logging and monitoring. The 890 is a unique value
and is indispensible on the inspection bench.
