4263B
Overview
4263B LCR Meter is a general purpose LCR meter designed for both component evaluation on the production line and fundamental impedance testing for bench-top applications.
Features
Basic accuracy: 0.1%
Test frequency: 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz, 20 kHz (option 002 only), and 100 kHz Test Signal Level: 20 mV to 1 Vrms, 5 mV step
Measurement speed: 29 ms
High speed contact check function (5ms) Quick test recovery
Wide capacitance measurement range Front-end protection
Built-in comparator
Transformer parameter measurements (option 001) High Reliability / High Throughput
The 4263B has a measurement speed of 29 ms at any test signal frequency. This ability improves the throughput of component evaluation on the product line. The 4263B can check the contact between the test terminals and the Device Under Test (DUT), ensuring the reliability of PASS/FAIL testing with automatic handlers in production.
Electrolytic Capacitor Measurement
Electrolytic capacitor measurements require high measurement accuracy in the low impedance range. The 4263B's high accuracy and wide measurement range allow you to make precise measurements of electrolytic capacitors.
Transformer Parameter Measurements (Option 001)
The 4263B's ability to make turns ratio (N), mutual inductance (M), and DC resistance (DCR) measurement obsolete data calculations and changing test setups.

Guided Tour of Panels
Front Panel
This section gives a guided tour of the front panel. For a detailed description of each key's function, refer to Chapter 3.
Each description starting with (Shift) is the secondary function of the key, which is available by pressing the blue shift key. (Refer to \Shift key.")
1.Display displays measurement result, instrument states, and messages.
2.LINE Switch turns the 4263B ON and OFF.
3.Terminal is tied to ground through the instrument's chassis.
4.UNKNOWN Terminals is the connection point for test xtures. BNC connectors are used for the UNKNOWN Terminals.
Caution |
Do not apply DC voltage or current to the UNKNOWN terminals. Doing so will |
|
damage the 4263B. Before you measure a capacitor, be sure the capacitor is |
|
fully discharged. |
|
|
5.DC Bias Key enables or disables DC Bias output.
6.DC Bias ON/OFF Indicator turns ON when DC bias output is enabled, and OFF when it is disabled.
7.Measurement Time Key selects the measurement time mode from Short, Medium, or Long.
(Shift) Average Key sets the averaging rate used to average the measurement result.
8.Show Setting Key - changes the mode of the Measurement Settings display.
(Shift) Current / Voltage Monitor (I&V Mon) Key - sets the monitor function for the current and voltage.
9.Auto/Hold Range Key toggles the measurement range mode between Auto and Hold. (Shift) Range Setup Key selects the measurement range.
10.Left / Down Arrow ( /#) Keys and Up / Right Arrow ("/!) Keys- each increases or decreases the setting.
