1. Introduction

The L-C-R measuring device enables you to make detailed measurements of no-load components, such as resistances in the range 0 to 20 M Ω , capacitors in the range from a few pF up to

200 µF, and inductors in the range from a few µH up to 20 H. Relatively low current consumption allows achievement of high efficiency. The 13 mm high 3 1/2 liquid crystal display (LCD) makes the device very easy to read. The internally generated measurement frequency is approx. 250 Hz.

The measuring device can be used universally both in the hobby and industrial (restricted) sectors, or in schools, etc..

2. Notes on Safety

•The measuring device is EMV safety-tested (domestic use) and meets EG Guideline 89/336/EWG.

•The device has been manufactured and tested to DIN 57 411

Part 1/VDE 0411 Part 1, protective regulations for measuring devices and leaves the factory in a technically safe condition.

To maintain this condition and ensure safe operation, the

user must take account of the safety instructions and warnings contained in these operating instructions.

•Measuring devices should be kept away from children!

•In the workplace, the accident prevention measures of the Association of Employer’s Liability Insurance for electrical plant and operating material must be observed.

•In schools, training centers, hobby and self-help workshops, working with measuring equipment and accessories must be responsibly supervised by trained personnel.

•When opening panels or removing parts (except if this is manually possible), live components may be exposed. Connecting points may also be live. Ahead of any adjustment, maintenance, repair or exchange of parts or subassemblies during which the unit must be opened, connecting points must be disconnected from all voltage sources and measurement circuits. If adjustment, maintenance or repair must then proceed with the unit open, only trained engineers, familiar with the risks and relevant regulations (VDE 0100, VDE 0683, VDE 0701) are authorized to complete the work.

•Capacitors in the unit may still be on-load, even when the unit has been disconnected from all power sources and measuring circuits.

•Please take special care when handling voltages in excess of 25 V AC or 35 V DC voltage. Even at these voltages, contact with electric cables can give a potentially lethal electrical shock.

•Always remove the measurement probes before modifying the measurement range.

•Ahead of measuring, check your measuring device and measuring leads for damage.

•Ahead of measuring, the capacitors being measured must be fully discharged.

•Measurements of components or circuit components, etc., under loads are not permitted! Also, there is a potentially lethal hazard if voltages greater than 25 VACrms or 35 VDC are touched!

•Do not use the measuring device in rooms or in adverse environmental conditions in which combustible gases, vapors or dust are present or may be present.

•For your own safety, ensure that neither the measuring device nor measuring leads become damp or wet.

•When measuring, only use the measuring leads supplied with the measuring device. Only these leads are permitted.

•To avoid electric shocks, check that there is no contact (not even indirectly) with measurement probes and the terminals/conductor rails (measurement points) during the measurements.

•If there are reasons for supposing that risk-free operation is no longer possible, the unit must be deactivated and safetied against accidental operation. Risk-free operation can no longer be supposed, when the equipment

-is visibly damaged,

-no longer functions

-has been stored long-term under adverse conditions

-has been exposed to stress during transport.

•Never turn the equipment on immediately after transferring it from a cold environment to a warm environment. Condensation can cause irreparable damage to your equipment.

Allow your device to acclimatize to the temperature of the room before you switch it on.

4.Slide switch „R - L/C“ for switching between resistance measurement „R“, inductance measurement „L“ and capacitance measurement „C“.

5.Input sockets „+“ and „−“ for connecting measuring leads.

Important!

Please note the max. input parameters.

6.Battery compartment with cover (attached by screws).

4. Use of the Multimeter

4.1 Fitting/Replacing the Battery

Your measuring device will only function correctly when ﬁtted with a 9-V block battery. If the LED „LOBAT“ lights up (battery voltage is less than 7.7 V), you must change the battery as follows:

Disconnect your measuring device from the measuring circuit, remove the measuring leads from the measuring device, switch off and use a suitable screwdriver to remove the screw attaching the battery compartment cover. Carefully remove the cover. Disconnect the used battery from the connecting terminal and replace it with a new one of the same type (alkaline). After changing the battery, relocate the connected battery in the battery compartment and carefully reclose the housing as described previously but in reverse order. When closing the battery compartment, check that the cables from the connecting terminals are not jammed.

Important!

Never operate the measuring device when open. Potentially lethal hazard!

Remove used batteries from the measuring device, since even batteries protected against leakage can corrode and release chemicals liable to damage health or damage the battery compartment.

4.2 Connecting the Measuring Leads

Never use other measuring leads than the ones supplied. Before connection, check the condition of the connectors or crocodile clips and that the insulation is not damaged.

Important!

Avoid damage by never exceeding the max. input parameters.

4.3 Setting Up

When starting to measure, set the measuring device switch „0 - 1“ to „1“ and, after ﬁnishing your measurements to „0“ (this saves wear on the battery). Measurement functions are color-coded: the yellow range is for resistance measurement „R“, the blue range for capacitance measurement „C“ and the violet range for inductance measurement „L“.

For switching between resistance measurement „R“ and capacitance „C“ or inductance measurement „L“, the slide switch must be correctly set to „R - L/C“.

5. Making Measurements

5.1 Capacitance Measurements (C)

Measure capacitance as follows:

1.Connect the measuring leads supplied to the measuring device: the red measuring lead to the „+“ socket (red) and the black measuring lead to the „−“ socket (black) and switch the measuring device switch „0 - 1“ to „1“.

2.Always discharge capacitors before connecting them to the measuring device.

Important!

Connection of capacitors can produce high-energy discharges.

Take care! Potentially lethal hazard! Do not touch the connecting points of capacitors with voltages greater than 35 VDC or

25 VAC. Take precautions in rooms in which dust, combustible gases, vapors or ﬂuids are or may be present. ==> Danger of explosion!

Do not measure capacitors which are built into circuits or circuit components.

3.Set the measurement function switch to the measurement range desired.

4.Set the slide switch „R - L/C“ to „L/C“.

5.Connect the discharged capacitor to be measured to the crocodile clips of the measuring leads.

With unipolar capacitors (poled) check that polarity is correct. Do not extend the measuring leads supplied using other extension leads as the lead capacitance thus arising cannot be compensated when automatically setting to zero. This can result in measurement errors.

Note(s)!

a)With capacitors either unlabeled are having labels no longer readable, start the measurement using the lowest possible measurement range and continue to adjust the measurement range switch until a sufficiently satisfactory display (resolution) is obtained. Always remove the crocodile clips from the measurement object before changing measurement ranges.

b)It is normal if a continuously changing value is displayed in the smallest measurement range (2 nF) before the measurement is started. This is due to so-called stray capacitance in the measuring leads, or the sensitive measurement input. At very low capacitance values (e.g. 8.2 pF) the value displayed

(ahead of the measurement) must be deducted during the measurement.

c)For a shorted capacitor, a value of „1“ (for range overshoot) is displayed instead of a measurement value. For a capacitor having a high leak current, either „1“ for overﬂow is displayed, or a value much higher than the rated value. The value for a broken capacitor is displayed as „0....“ (or a very few pF) in all ranges, except in the smallest range.

d)Especially with electrolytic capacitors a relatively great tolerance range is sometimes speciﬁed. This results in greater values being measured with such types of capacitor than the rated values. When displayed values are much lower than rated values, the reason may be that the capacitor measured is faulty.

On completing measurements, switch the measuring device off so as to save the battery.

5.2 Measurement of Inductance (coils) = (L)

You can use the measuring device LCR-9063 to test coils up to

20 H (= Henry = As/V) as follows:

2.Set the measurement function switch to a range in the yellow sector („R“) and set the slide switch „R - L/C“ to „R“. With open measuring cables and/or broken coils/windings, a „1“ (for overﬂow) is displayed. Next, connect the measurement probes to the no-load measurement object (transformer coil, loudspeaker coil, relay coil, ignition coil, choke, etc.).

To obtain the highest possible resolution (and thus the smallest possible error of measurement), the measurement range must be adjusted to the expected inductance. If, for example, a component label rating indicates a value of 6 mH (choke), the range „20 mH“ should be set.

Note(s)!

a)With coils/inductance either unlabeled are having labels no longer readable, start the measurement using the lowest possible measurement range and continue to adjust the measurement range switch until a sufficiently satisfactory display

(resolution) is obtained. Always remove the crocodile clips from the measurement object before changing measurement ranges.

b)It is normal if a continuously changing value is displayed in the smallest measurement range (2 mH) before measurement is started. This is due to so-called stray capacitance in the measuring leads, or the sensitive measurement input. At very low „L“ values (e.g. 15 µH) the value displayed (ahead of the measurement) must be deducted during the measurement.

c)For a broken coil, „1“ (for range overshoot) is displayed instead of a measurement value.

d)It is not possible to measure the quality factor „Q“ of a coil/inductance using this measuring device.

e)When measuring the inductance of resistances, misleading values can be displayed.

After ﬁnishing with the measuring device, turn it off to save the battery.

5.3 Measurement of Resistances (R)

Important!

Make absolutely sure that all circuits and circuit components, as well as other measurement objects, are no-load.

Connect the measuring leads supplied to the measuring device: the red measuring lead to the „+“ socket (red) and the black measuring lead to the „−“ socket (black)). Set the measurement function switch to a range in the yellow sector („R“) and set the slide switch „R - L/C“ to „R“. With open measuring leads or highvalue/broken resistances „1“ (for overﬂow) is displayed. Next, connect the measurement probes to the measurement object. To maintain the highest possible resolution (and thus the smallest possible error of measurement), the measurement range must be adjusted to the expected resistance. If, for example, the color code rating indicates a value of 120 Ω , the range „200 Ω „ should be set.

Note!

When you are measuring resistance, check that the measurement points you touch with the measuring probes when measuring are free of dirt, oil, soldering material, or similar, which are likely to result in errors in measurement values.

With resistances greater than approx. 2 MΩ it may occur that the display needs a few moments to stabilize itself. If „1“ is displayed, you have exceeded the measurement range or the measurement section has been interrupted.

6. Maintenance

Changing the battery is described in Section 4.1. For cleaning the device or the display window, use only a clean, dry, antistatic lintfree cleaning rag.

Important!

Never use cleaning agents containing carbon, petrol, alcohol or similar since these will attack the surface ﬁnish of the measuring device. Also, the vapors are a health and explosion hazard
