Full-Featured Handheld Capacitance
Meters
B&K Precision’s 830C and 890C 11,000-count
handheld capacitance meters measure capaci-
tance up to 200 mF. Straightforward to operate,
these instruments can 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, the 830C
and 890C measure capacitance by applying a
constant current that briefly charges, then
discharges the connected capacitor.
The 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
recording, tolerance, and relative mode features
offer additional component troubleshooting
tools.
Applications
I Capacitive component troubleshooting
I Electronic assembly
I Component sorting
I Quality control
Flexible Operation
A tilt stand provides position flexibility for view-
ing and operating the meter. The over-molding
rubber case protects the meter for better durabil-
ity. A single 9V battery or an AC power adapter
(included with model 830C) can be used to
power the meter, giving the user options for
portable or benchtop use.
