The 200 uf setting is for caps up to 200 uf. The 2000 uf is for caps us to 2000 up in value. You can check anything below 200 uf on the 200 uf setting. I have seen times when the cap must be unsoldered from the circuit in order to get a correct reading. If you are checking a 47 uf cap (for example), you should read somewhere around 47 uf on the meter. If you get a much lower reading; the cap has lost it's value. If it reads way over 47 uf; it's probably leaky and should be replaced. I've seen some caps that read close to value but still wouldn't function properly in the cricuit.
