INTRODUCTION

The

Model

1400

is

a

valuable

service

aid

for

in-circuit

testing

of

all

types

of

capacitors,

from

the

smallest

ceramic

types

to

large

electrolytics.

The

1400

will

check

for

open

or

shorted

cap-

acitor

1s

without

the

necessity

of

removing

them

from

the

circuit.

Capacity

values

are

measured

in-circuit

on

all

popular

electrolytic

capacitors.

An

important

feature

of

the

electrolytic

test,

not

found

in

other

instruments

sold

even

at

much

higher

prices,

is

the

low

test

volt-

age

that

protects

the

low-voltage

electrolytics

used

in

transistor

radios.

Many

of

these

small

electrolytic

filters

are

rated

as

low

as

3

working

volts

D.C.

The

Mod

el

1400

tests

these

and

all

others

with

perfect

accuracy

with

no

ch

ance

of

damage.
