Calibration
Connect the three standard units, open, short, and load of the IM9905 Calibration Kit to the
reference surface (terminal) of the IM9906 Adapter one by one, and measure the respective
calibration data. This reference surface is referred to as the “calibration reference surface”. The
cause of errors between the impedance analyzer itself and the calibration reference surface is
eliminated.
The dened value differs according to the calibration kit to be used. For more information about how
to input dened values to the impedance analyzer, see the instruction manual of the impedance
analyzer and the Dened Value Setting Application Installation Procedure on the CD-R that came
with the IM9905.
CAUTION
While attaching and detaching the calibration kit, make sure that the internal conductor
of the calibration kit does not rotate. If the internal conductor rotates, it may cause
damage to the electrode.
When the calibration cannot be executed:
• Conrm that the calibration kit and the IM9906 Adapter are connected properly.
• Check that the DC measurement limit value of the impedance analyzer is appropriate.
• Connect the IM9906 adapter, calibration kit and the device with a 7 mm connector.
Recommended torque for the 7 mm connector is 1.35 N·m.

Short Correction
Short correction is performed to eliminate the device’s residual short impedance. The short plate is
used.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the screw in the center of the short plate, orient the screw
perpendicularly before insertion and tighten with an appropriate amount of force.
About short impedance
At high frequencies, a DUT’s structure and dimensions exert a signicant effect on impedance
values.
DUTs have a variety of shapes and dimensions, and it is not possible to precisely dene a short
impedance that will accommodate all of those possibilities. Although short correction is performed
to correct for the residual impedance of the test xture, the fact that short impedance is undened
means measured values will incorporate an error component.
There are two methods for performing short correction of the test xture.
• Using a short device with the same shape as the DUT
The value after short correction is the difference in impedance between the DUT and the short
device. The short device’s impedance will affect measured values.
• Using a xed reference without regard to the size of the DUT
The value after short correction is the sum of the DUT’s impedance and the impedance caused by
the effects of the xture’s electrodes. The impedance of the xture’s electrodes affects measured
values.
The device use a xed reference to perform short correction without regard to the size of the DUT.
Consequently, measured values include the impedance of part of the xture’s base plate and of
the L-side electrode. Since a deterioration in the xture’s residual impedance will affect measured
values, it is recommended to check the residual impedance on a daily basis.
You can also prepare your own short device with the same shape as the DUT you plan to measure
and use it to perform short compensation.
However, be sure to use the same correction method when comparing measured values.
IMPORTANT
Do not scratch the electrode and short plate of the device or touch them directly with your hand.
It may affect the measurement accuracy and reproducibility.

Verify that the edge of the L-side SMD electrode is in contact
with the base plate. Proper measurement cannot be performed
if the edge of the electrode is oating relative to the base plate.
Start the measurement using the impedance analyzer.

IMPORTANT
• To boost measurement reproducibility, use the same component position and orientation
when measuring components with the same shape.
• If the L-side SMD electrode is exhibiting unstable contact, the SMD open correction jig can
be used to improve contact.
• The impedance of some DUTs varies with the amount of force exerted on the DUT. Reducing
the amount of force applied between the xture’s electrodes and the DUT’s electrodes can
lead to increased measurement error by increasing the contact resistance between the
electrodes. Adjust the force and contact after assessing how the component in question will
be affected by force.

CAUTION
Do not attempt to modify, disassemble, or try to repair the device. Doing so may cause
a re, electric shock, or injury.
Storage
If you do not intend to use the device for an extended period, store it in the carrying case.
Cleaning
• If the device becomes dirty, wipe the device clean with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water
or a neutral detergent.
• The measurement accuracy and reproducibility of the device’s electrode and short plate may
decrease due to dirt or deformation. If dirt sticks to the device, remove it by using the provided
cleaning brush.
• Remove the H-side lead component clip, the L-side lead component electrode, the L-side SMD
electrode, and the short plate. Gently brush the H-side electrode and base plate.
