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

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);

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.

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.

LCR-8000 Series User Manual
Setting measurement level/ALC/RO
LCR-8200 Series test signal voltage/current level can be set as the
effective value (RMS value) of a sine wave of the test frequency
from the unit’s internal oscillator. The voltage range is 10mV2Vrms and current range is 100uA-20mArms. 2Vrms can only be
used at <= 1MHz.
The ALC (automatic level control) feature adjusts the voltage across
the DUT or the current through the DUT to match the
voltage/current level setting. Using this feature, you can try to
ensure a constant signal level (voltage or current) is applied to the
DUT.
In situations when the actual measuring Vac or Iac goes beyond the
extent that the ALC can regulate, a warning message, “ALC unable
to regulate”, will be shown at the bottom of the screen.
An asterisk will be shown beside the LEVEL V or A unit when the
ALC is turned on.
The RO (output impedance) can be set to 25Ω or 100Ω.
The varied signal source output impedance will lead to the varied
current or the difference of measuring value. If selecting <25Ω>,
then the voltage range is 10mV~1Vrms and the current range is
400uA~40mArms. If it needs to compare test results with Keysight
select 100Ω.

Setting AC/DC delay timer
LCR-8200 Series can set the AC/DC delay time when Rdc
parameter enable .
The inductance and Rdc values can be measured and displayed
simultaneously.
When the inductance is measured by Rdc, a current flows through
the generated magnetic field. When the DC signal ends, the
inductance will generate a back electromotive force. If the AC
signal is subsequently sent out for measurement, the L value may
cause an error. To avoid this problem, you can set the AC/DC
delay timer to reduce the effect of back EMF on the measurement.
This delay timer will be executed both AC to DC and DC to AC.
The delay time range is 0ms~5000ms.

Setting trigger mode
List test step offers REPEAT and SINGLE and AUTO mode.
When the part is tested manually, it is traditionally necessary to
connect the object to be tested, and then press the TRIGGER button
or use the foot switch to start the measurement. Sometimes the
measurement result is wrong because it is not matched, which is
time-consuming and labor-intensive. Switch to AUTO mode and
use automatic trigger to measure, save time and accuracy.
