IM3523 IM3533
IM3533-01
●
Wide setting range for measurement voltage and current
In addition to normal open-loop signal generation, these models enable voltage/current dependent measurement in constant voltage/current modes.
The signal levels can be set over wide ranges from 5 mV to 5 V and
from 10 μA to 50 mA. (The setting range of measurement signal lev-
els varies depending on the frequency and measurement mode.)
● Wide measurement frequency range
The measurement frequency can be freely set to DC or any value in
the 1 mHz (40 Hz for the IM3523) to 200 kHz range at high resolution (five-digit resolution [1 mHz resolution for less than 100 Hz]).
This makes it possible to measure the resonant frequency and perform
measurement and evaluation under conditions close to actual conditions.
● Basic accuracy ±0.05%
The basic accuracy of Z is ±0.05%. This fi ts a wide array of applica-
tions ranging from the inspection of parts to research and development measurements.
● Accuracy guaranteed at measurement cables of up to
4 meters
Four-terminal pair configuration reduces the influence of measurement cables and accuracy is gua ranteed at the measurement cable
lengths of up to 4 meters. This simplifies the wiring of automated
machinery. With models IM3523 and IM3533, accuracy is guaranteed
at measurement cable lengths of up to 4 meters with the cable length
correction set to 1 meter. (The frequency range for which accuracy is
guaranteed varies depending on the cable length.)
● 15 parameters can be measured
The following parameters can be measured and selected parameters
can be imported to a computer: Z, Y, θ, Rs (ESR), Rp, Rdc (DC resistance), X, G, B, Ls, Lp, Cs, Cp, D (tanδ), and Q.
● Fastest measurement time 2 ms
The fastest measurement time of 2 ms at a measurement frequency
of 1 kHz and the measurement speed FAST improves the inspection
throughput used in automated machinery.
● Contact check function incorporated
The contact check function for four-terminal measurement and the
Hi-Z reject function for two-terminal measurement ensure the measurement electrode is in contact with the measurement object during
measurement.
● Continuous measurement under different
measurement conditions
Different measu rement items can be measured continuously under
different measurement conditions (frequency, level, and mode).
● Protection against charged capacitors*
To address situations when a charged capacitor is incorrectly connected to the measurement terminal, the protection function* has been
improved to 10 times of the amount of residual charge of the previous
model 3522
-50.
* This function does not guarantee the measurement of charged capacitors. Be sure to discharge the capacitor before measuring it.

Reference values
With continuous measurement under varying measurement
conditions such as C-D + ESR measurement of capacitors,
the total measurement time has been shortened significantly from the previous HIOKI model 3522
-50. In addition
to the reduction of the time required for individual measurements, the time required to change ranges such as a
frequency range has been reduced signifi cantly.

Features of LCR Meter Model IM3523
Integration into Production Lines and Automated Machinery
● Easy setup using a numeric keypad on a
simple, easy-to-read monochrome LCD
A simple user interface is provided with a high-contrast graphic LCD
display, function keys, and numeric keypad. For numeric value settings such as the comparator setting, the numeric keypad can be used
to enter numbers easily and quickly.
IM3523
● Compact size ideal for integration into
production lines and automated machinery
The size is the same as that of compact measuring instruments for
bench use - smaller than the previous model - fi tting easily into auto-
mated machinery and production processes.
IM3523
● Comparator
In LCR mode, the meter allows for Hi, IN, and Lo
judgments of two types from the measurement items. For the judg-
ment method, % setting and Δ% setting are available in addition to
absolute value setting. If continuous measurement is used, judgments
which span over multiple measurement conditions and measurement
items are possible.
IM3523
● BIN measurement
With the IM3523, the main item can be classifi ed into
10 categories and out of range, and the sub-item into 1 category and
out of range.
IM3523
● Auto-range control function
When a measurement object crosses over multiple ranges, measurement can be tailored by controlling the moving-range of the auto-range.
Measurement can be performed by taking advantage of both the wide
measurement range of the auto-range and the reduction of the mea-
surement time achieved by completing a search only in the specifi ed
range.
● Individual items of two continuous measurements can
be output from EXT I/O
For two types of continuous measurement judgment items, individual
judgment results can be captured from EXT/IO. This makes it possible
to perform more detailed inspections and sorting.
Functions and Features Suitable for Measurements
and Inspection on Production Lines
IM3523 IM3533
IM3533-01
● Limit-linked range setting and range-linked setting
function
The optimal range is automatically set according to the set reference
value or range. In addition, the measurement conditions can be automatically set to be optimized according to the change in the range, reducing the preparation time.
● OPEN/SHORT compensation area setting function
When the measurement frequency range is limited, OPEN/SHORT
compensation can be executed by limiting the compensation area to
the actual frequency range being measured. The time required to ex-
ecute OPEN/SHORT compensation is then signifi cantly reduced com-
pared to the time needed to compensate the entire range.
