LCR-8000 Series User Manual
Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased.
General
Guideline
CAUTION
AC voltage input is strictly prohibited.
Do not place any heavy object on the
instrument.
Avoid severe impact or rough handling that can
lead to damaging the instrument.
Do not discharge static electricity to the
instrument.
Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for
the terminals.
Do not perform measurement at the source of a
low-voltage installation or at building
installations (Note below).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Note) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the measurement
categories and their requirements as follows. The
LCR-8200 Series doesn’t fall under category II, III
or IV.
Measurement category IV is for measurement
performed at the source of low-voltage
installation.
Measurement category III is for measurement
performed in the building installation.
Measurement category II is for measurement
performed on the circuits directly connected to
the low voltage installation.
Power Supply
WARNING
AC Input voltage: 100-240 VAC 50/60Hz
The power supply voltage should not fluctuate
more than 10%.
Connect the protective grounding conductor of
the AC power cord to an earth ground, to avoid
electrical shock.
Cleaning the
Instrument
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.
Do not use chemicals containing harsh material
such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.
Operation
Environment
Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,
almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)
Temperature: 0°C to 40°C
Humidity:
< 30°C: < 80%RH(non-condensing);
30°C~40°C: <70%RH(non-condensing);
>40°C: <50%RH (non-condensing)
Altitude: <2000m

LCR-8000 Series User Manual
(Note) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution
degrees and their requirements as follows. The
LCR-8200 SERIES falls under degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter,
solid, liquid, or gaseous (ionized gases), that
may produce a reduction of dielectric strength
or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry,
non-conductive pollution occurs. The pollution
has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-
conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally,
however, a temporary conductivity caused by
condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs,
or dry, non-conductive pollution occurs which
becomes conductive due to condensation which
is expected. In such conditions, equipment is
normally protected against exposure to direct
sunlight, precipitation, and full wind pressure,
but neither temperature nor humidity is
controlled.
Storage
environment
Location: Indoor
Temperature: -10°C to 70°C

Disposal
Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased. Please make sure
discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to
reduce environmental impact.

Power cord for the United Kingdom
When using the unit in the United Kingdom, make sure the power
cord meets the following safety instructions.
NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code
As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with
the coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed
as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to
the Earth terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol
or coloured Green/Green & Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment
or contact the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and
approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the
equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable
of 0.75mm2 should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger
conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the
connection method used.
Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is
engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is
deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable,
any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be
immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above
standard.

Characteristics
Thank you for using LCR-8200 SERIES LCR Meter as your testing
instrument. This Manual contains the detailed installation steps. To
ensure personnel safety and to protect your equipment and data,
please check if the following accessories are fully supplied before
starting the installation.
The test frequency of the LCR-8200 SERIES LCR Meter is DC 10Hz30MHz and the test signal is 10mV-2Vrms and is suitable for the
LCR and DCR testes of AC signals. The measurement in a
continuously changing environment can be executed stage-by-stage
with the test frequency and grade, and high-speed continuous tests
can be performed under different test and mode conditions. The
machine also supports RS-232, USB, LAN and GPIB PC connection
capabilities to improve the design and test efficiency significantly.
The performance, convenience and operation flexibility of the LCR
Meter have become indispensable tools for the professional
measuring technicians.
Such meter can meet customer demands for price, speed, capacity,
accuracy and multi-function by its well-based flexibility in
combination and implementation. Therefore, it can be used in the
testing of a variety of components such as resister, capacitor,
inductor, oscillator, sensor, time-delay wire, filter and resonator.
