SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Warning: Identifies conditions or practices that
could result in injury or loss of life.

CAUTION

Caution: Identifies conditions or practices that
could result in damage to the instrument or to
other properties.

Safety Symbols

These safety symbols may appear in the quick start guide or on the
instrument.

When you notice any of the unusual conditions listed below,
immediately terminate operation and disconnect the power cable.

Please contact the Teledyne service center representative for repair
of the instrument. If you continue to operate without repairing the
instrument, there is a potential fire or shock hazard for operators.

The instrument is operating abnormally if:

• The instrument emits abnormal noise, smell, smoke, or a spark­like light during the operation.

• The instrument generates high temperature or electrical shock
during operation.

• The power cable, plug, or receptacle on the instrument is
damaged.

• Foreign substances or liquid has fallen into the instrument.

The following general safety precautions must be observed during
all phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument.
Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific
WARNINGS elsewhere in this manual may impair the protection
provided by the equipment. In addition it violates safety standards
of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument.

Disclaimer

Teledyne assumes no liability for the customer's
failure to comply with these requirements.

Ground The
Instrument

To avoid electric shock hazards, the instrument
chassis and cabinet must be connected to a safety
earth ground by the supplied power cable with
earth blade.

DO NOT Operate
In An Explosive
Atmosphere

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of
inflammable gasses or fumes. Operation of any
electrical instrument in such an environment
constitutes a definite safety hazard.

Keep Away From
Live Circuits

Operating personnel must not remove instrument
covers. Component replacement and internal
adjustments must be made by qualified
maintenance personnel. Do not replace
components with the power cable connected.
Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may
exist even with the power cable is removed. To
avoid injuries, always disconnect the power and
discharge the circuits before touching them.

DO NOT Service
Or Adjust Alone

Do not attempt internal service or adjustment
unless another person, capable of rendering first
aid and resuscitation, is present.

DO NOT
Substitute Parts
Or Modify
Instrument

Because of the danger of introducing additional
hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform
unauthorized modifications to the instrument.

Return the instrument to a Teledyne authorized
service center for service and repair to ensure that
safety features are maintained.

GETTING STARTED

Correction
Function

• OPEN/SHORT correction
Eliminates measurement errors due to stray
parasitic impedance in the test fixtures.

This chapter describes names and functions of the front panel, rear
panel, and screen display and provides the basic procedures for
operating the T3LCR series.

Overview

The Teledyne T3LCR series is a general-purpose LCR meter for
incoming inspection of components, quality control, and laboratory
use.

The T3LCR series is used for evaluating LCR components,
materials, and semiconductor devices over a wide range of
frequencies (10 Hz to 300 kHz) and test signal levels (10.00mV to

2.00V & 100.0uA to 20.00mA).

With its built-in comparator, the T3LCR series can output
comparison/decision results for sorting components into a
maximum of ten bins. Furthermore, by using the handler interface,
the T3LCR

and a system controller to fully automate component testing,
sorting, and quality- control data processing.

The list Meas function permits entry of up to 10 frequencies or test
signal levels points to be automatically measured.

series can be easily combined with a component handler,

Main Features

Comparator
Function
(Sorting)

• Bin sort
The primary parameter can be sorted into
BIN1- BIN9, AUX, OUT and HI/IN/LO for
each of the primary measurement parameters.

The sequential mode or tolerance mode can be
selected as the sorting mode.
