The LCR meter offers the option to select between parallel or
series measurement mode. Depending on which mode is selected,
the method to measure the component will be different.
Additionally, one measurement mode may provide better
accuracies over the other measurement mode depending on the
type of component and the value of the component to be tested.
For more details, refer to the “SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION”
section.When any L/C/R functional mode is selected, the default
measurement in series or parallel mode is auto selected and the
AUTO segment will be shown on LCD display. It depends on the
total equivalent impedance measured. If the impedance is larger
than 10k

on the secondary display. Press the button to exit this mode.
If the component to be measured is a capacitor, be
sure that the capacitor is fully discharged BEFORE inserting it
into the input sockets or terminals. For large capacitors, it may
take longer periods of time for a full discharge. Inserting a
charged or partially charged capacitor into the meter’s input
sockets or terminals may produce an electric hazard and may
also damage the instrument, making it unusable.
When the button is pressed, the test frequency will be
changed sequentially. There are five different test frequencies
(100Hz/120Hz/1kHz/10kHz/100kHz) can be selected. The test
frequency can affect the accuracy of the results depending on what
frequency is selected and what type and value of a component
is being measured or tested.

7.Supplemental Information
This section provides supplemental information for user
consideration when operating the LCR meters.Some
recommendations and explanations are provided to help aid in
the use of some functions and features,in which can help the user
gain optimal and accurate measurement results.
Test frequency can greatly affect the results of measurement
reading,especially when measuring inductors and capacitors.This
section provides some recommendations and suggestions to
consider.
When measuring capacitance selecting,the right frequency is
important in obtaining the most accurate measurement results.
Generally,a 1 kHz test frequency is used to measure capacitors
that are 0.01
7-1 Selecting Test Frequency
Capacitance
μF or smaller.For capacitors that are 10 μF or larger,a
lower frequency of 120 Hz is used.Following this trend,high test
frequencies are best for testing very low capacitance components.
For large capacitance components,low frequency would be optimal.
For example,if the capacitance of the component is to be in the
mF range,than selecting 100 Hz or 120 Hz for test frequency
would give much better results.The results will also be obvious
because if the same component was tested with 1 kHz or 10 kHz,
the measured readings may look erroneous on the display.
In all cases,it is best to check with the manufacturer’s data
sheet in order to determine the best test frequency to use for
measurement.
Typically,a 1 kHz test frequency is used to measure inductors
that are used in audio and RF circuits.This is because these
components operate at higher frequencies and require that they
be measured at higher frequencies such as 1 kHz or 10 kHz.
However,a 120 Hz test signal is used to measure inductors that
