Chapter 2 Operation instruction

2.1 Startup and shutdown

Press the power key to start the instrument and the measurement interface is shown (default). Press the power key again to shutdown it.

2.2 Test parameter

2.2.1 Test frequency

Handheld LCR applies AC test signal to the DUT for measurement. Frequency is one of the main parameters of the AC source. Due to the presence of the non-ideal and distributed parameters of component, and the impact of the distributed parameters between the test terminals, the same component may have different results with different test frequencies. So, please select appropriate frequency to test.
There are two ways to change the test frequency: Method 1: Press [FREQ] key to switch different frequencies. Method 2: Press the right and left arrow keys to move the cursor to the FREQ zone as shown in below figure, and press the up and down arrow keys to switch frequencies.

2.2.2 Test level

Handheld LCR applies AC test signal to the DUT for measurement. Both the frequency and signal level can be changed. There are two ways to change the test level: Method 1: Press [LEVEL] key to switch between different test signals level. Method 2: Press the right and left arrow keys to move the cursor to the LEVEL zone, and press
8
the up and down arrow keys to switch levels.

2.2.3 Test range

There are two ways to change the test range: Method 1: Press [RANGE] key to switch between different test ranges. Method 2: Turn on the instrument and the measurement display is shown, press the left and right arrow keys to move the cursor to the RANGE zone, and the up and down arrow keys to switch the range (AUTO, 100Ω, 1kΩ, 10kΩ, 100kΩ).

2.2.4 Test speed

There are two ways to change the test speed: Method 1: Turn on the instrument and the measurement display is shown, press [SPEED] to switch to the next measurement speed (fast, medium, slow). Above the status bar the corresponding measurement speed is displayed. Fast (4 times /s), Medium (2 times /s), Slow (1 time /s). Method 2: Turn on the instrument and the measurement display is shown, press the left and right arrow keys to move the cursor to the SPEED zone, and the up and down arrow keys to switch the test speed.

2.2.5 Main parameters

Parameter and symbol
R: resistance C: capacitance L: inductance Z: impedance Select the type of measurement parameter, then select the main parameter. Press [AUTO/R/L/C/Z] key to switch the main parameters(R, L, C, Z and AUTO) in sequence. When AUTO is selected for the main parameter, the main parameter font is shown in red.

2.2.6 Secondary parameters

Parameter and symbol
X: reactance D: dissipation factor Q: quality factor θ: phase angle ESR: equivalent series resistance If necessary, press [X/D/Q/θ/ESR] key to select the secondary parameter.
If the main parameter select as Auto, this key will not work.

2.2.7 Set nominal value of tolerance mode

The method of setting the nominal value is as follows:
9
1. Turn on the instrument and the measurement display is shown, the component with required
nominal should be placed on the test clip of the instrument.
2. Long press [COMPARE] to turn on the comparator, and the nominal value is the value of the
measured element. The nominal value and tolerance will be displayed in the status bar as shown in the below figure.
The deviation value between current test value and standard value will display on the secondary parameter position.
Short press this key to select the required tolerance value successively (1%, 5%, 10% and 20% optional). The color bar at the top of the screen will be used to judge GOOD/NG.
Long press this button or change the primary and secondary parameters to exit this function.
Note: This function cannot work if the main parameter select as Auto.

2.2.8 Equivalent mode

Due to the non-ideal and distributed parameters of component, the actual components tend to be equivalent with the combination of ideal elements. Generally LCR tester uses two simple equivalent models--series and parallel. Selecting the proper equivalent model will lead to better measurement results. In general, low-impedance elements (such as that below 100Ω) should use the series equivalent model; a high impedance element (such as that above 10kΩ) should use the parallel equivalent model; the equivalent model affects less the measurement result of the one in between the two above models. Press [SER/P AL] key to switch equivalent mode (SER, PAL).

2.3 Relative mode

Press [REL] to turn on the relative function and the current value is used as reference. The reference value and relative value will be shown respectively on the secondary and main display. Press the key again to exit the function.

2.4 Reading hold mode (HOLD)

The data hold function is used to freeze the displayed data. The measurement is still in progress, but the data on the LCD is not updated as the measurements proceed. Turn on reading hold: Press the [HOLD] key, and "LOLD" will be shown on the LCD to indicate that the data hold function is activated. And measurement results for the main and secondary parameters are those displayed before pressing the HOLD key. Turn off reading hold: In hold mode, press again the [HOLD] key, and "HOLD" disappears from the LCD, the instrument returns to normal measurement mode.

2.5 Data recording function

If the measurement data of the DUT see poor stability and fluctuate within a certain range, use the data recording mode to acquire the readings. In the data recording mode, the maximum, minimum and average can be dynamically obtained within a certain range. Turn on the recording function: Press [RECORD] key to turn on the data recording function, and the recorded value is shown on the secondary display, then press the key to select the display of the maximum, minimum, or average in successively. This function records the maximum value, minimum value of the main parameter and the average value of the last ten tests.
Note: After changing the type of the measurement parameter, it will automatically exit from the data recording function. This function cannot work if the main parameter select as Auto.

2.6 Correction function

The correction function includes the open and short circuit. By correcting it can effectively reduce the error of distributed parameters caused by the test line. The short circuit correction can reduce the impact of the contact resistance and lead resistance on the measurement of low impedance element. The open circuit correction can reduce the impact of the distributed capacitance and resistance between the two ends of the test line on the measurement of high impedance element.
The method of correction is shown as follows:
1. Before entering the correction function, please ensure that the test terminals are open- or short-circuited. Long press [REL] key to enter the correction interface, then the instrument automatically identify whether it is open or short circuit.
2. Short press [REL] key for open (OPEN) or short (SHORT) circuit correction. If the correction is
1 1
successful, the secondary display shows "SUCESS"; or it shows "FAILED".
Note: Do not change the state of the test terminals during the correction.
