The 830C is 11, 000-count handheld capacitance meters that measure capacitance up to 200 mF. Straightforward to operate, these meters make measurements quickly and simplify the capacitance sorting process. Unlike other handheld instruments such as LCR meters that make measurements using an AC signal with a specific test frequency, they measures capacitance by applying a constant current that briefly charges, then discharges the connected capacitor. These meters include many handy functions. The compare mode which supports 25 sets of high/low limits, provides a convenient means to sort capacitors without needing to set up the meter each time. Data logging, hold/min/max average , tolerance, and relative mode features offer additional component troubleshooting tools. Bright LCD backlight. Software for data logging and front panel emulation available as free download. Applications: Capacitive component troubleshooting. Electronic assembly. Component sorting. Quality control. Display: 41/2-digit liquid crystal display (LCD) with maximum reading of 11000 counts automatic polarity indication. Measuring rate (approx.): 5 times /sec for capacitance greater than 100 degree F. Operating temperature: full accuracy at 0 degree C to 40 degree C (32 degree F to 113 degree F). Storage temperature: -20 degree C to 50 degree C (-4 degree F to 122 degree F) without battery. Operating humidity (R.H.): maximum 80 percent R.H. for temperature up to 31 degree C decreasing linearly to 50 percent R.H. at 40 degree C. Temperature coefficient: 0.1 (specified accuracy) / degree C (from 0 degree C to 18 degree C or 28 degree C to 40 degree C). Power supply: single standard 9V battery or AC power adapter. Power consumption: 6.5 mA for battery operation, 2 microamps standby current (power is off). Battery life: 70 hours without backlight (approx.) (based on new alkaline 9v battery). Measures 1-19/32" length by 3-1/2" width by 7-1/2" height. 3 year warranty.
