will this unit check capacitors and diodes as well?

Hello,This is a great analog meter which is perfect for testing all different types of diodes but not a great tool for testing capacitors. I would highly recommend a ESR meter for testing Capacitors. Hope this helps.

This unit will give you a reading of the amount of capacitance of the capacitor(cap) that you are testing. So, If your cap is good it will read close to what it is marked on the side of it, if it is blown it will read no capacitance which will require you to solder a new capacitor into the circuit. I hope this helps!

It should but it doesn't work on mine. Also I couldn't make any transistor measures.

Should be able to test 6 volt battery one at a time, not all connected together.

Yes, it will read capacitance up to 20 Microfarad (20uF). However you must disconnect/remove from circuit the capacitor you want to test (or at least one lead disconnected). If you try reading a capacitor while installed in a circuit you will get erroneous results.

Yes....this device will give a read out of the cap which will be used to determine if the cap is defective based on the the rating indicated on the cap.eg: if the cap is rated at (4700 uf) and a reads (3500 uf )....cap is defective.

Yes it does. If you enlarge the display photo, you can see the different wiring configurations it checks printed on the unit.

It measures the forward voltage drop of a diode. Not to be confused with the capacitance measurement which is for capacitors.

Honestly the directions are confusing and I would put it to you this way. Unless you get a capacitor with a resistor on with a diode I think you'll be fine should you have a diode just reverse the wires so it will flow through. BUT if it flows in both directions then your self discharging capacitor has a blown diode. Other than that you can test a cap any which way I have found even though I do wonder why the lack of info. It has worked well for me and I understand it is a Made in China simplistic tool but its simple and cheap for quick diagnostics. I only use it for HVAC work.

This meter can check capacitance. As always when checking a capacitor that has been in service, do the following before using the meter: remove the power source, discharge the device by shunting the connections together (you may use the meter's lead to do this) and remove one or both connections to the motor. Then, set the meter dial to check capacitance and connect the meter leads.

As far as I know, it can only be used to determine if a capacitor is shorted, by using the resistance (ohmmeter) scales.

I also used a multimeter to figure it out. You'll have to insert a fuse before checking continuity, however.

Yes both: Capacitance in microfarads (uf/MFD) and 24 volts a/c which usually tests at 26 or 27 volts

It might but you would check your user manual to make sure you are getting the correct voltage

Honestly do not know for sure. If it has the same issue then I would say yes. If your problem ends up being a faulty capacitor then yes.

The tester will measure your electrolytic cap's capacitance and esr but not leakage. It will test bipolar transistors and identify E B C leads and PNP or NPN, and measure beta gain and E-C forward (on) voltage drop.

Yes, it will test a three prong receptacle. In fact that is the initial design-to test regular receptacles. The button is to add in a test for GFCI recptacles.
