I. Introduction
This LCR Meter is a 19999/ 9999 counts dual display, high
accuracy LCR meter, which could measure Inductance/
Capacitance/ Resistance with secondary parameters including
dissipation factor (D), quality factor (Q), phase angle (ș),
equivalent series/ parallel resistance (ESR or Rp).
This LCR Meter is fully auto ranging operation for AC
impedance & DC resistance measurement. The user could
measure the L/C/R components directly in “AUTO-LCR
“ smart mode without selecting the function key.
Components could be measured in series or parallel mode
according to the DUT (device under test) impedance
automatically.
User could select the desired test frequencies of
100Hz/120Hz/1kHz/10kHz /100kHz.
The “SORTING ” mode could help the user to make a quick
sort for a bunch of components.
The LCD display with the backlight for easy reading in dark
places.
With a 9V battery operation is standard for the meter, but a DC
9V adaptor can also be used as an optional power input.
The test data can be transferred to PC through an optional full
isolated optical USB-IR interface.

If ș> 0, the reactance is inductive. In other words, if ș< 0, the
reactance is capacitive.
There are two types for reactance. The one is the inductive
reactance XL and the other is the capacitive reactance XC.

Measurement mode
The impedance could be measured in series or parallel
mode. The impedance Z in parallel mode could be represented
as reciprocal of admittance Y. The admittance could be defined
as Y = G + jB. The G is the conductance and the B is the
susceptance.
䎃
Rs: Resistance in series mode
Xs: Reactance in series mode
Cs: Capacitance in series mode
Ls: Inductance in series mode
Rp: Resistance in parallel mode
Xp: Reactance in parallel mode
Cp: Capacitance in parallel mode
Lp: Inductance in parallel mode
Y = 1/Z = 1/Rp + 1/jXp = G+jB

- 6 -
There are two factors to provide the ratio of real part and
imaginary part. Usually the quality factor Q is used for
inductance measurement and the dissipation factor D is used
for capacitance measurement. D factor is defined as a
reciprocal of Q factor.
Q = 1 / D = tanș
Q = Xs / Rs = 2ʌf Ls / Rs = 1 / 2ʌf Cs Rs
Q = B / G = Rp / | Xp | = Rp / 2ʌf Lp = 2ʌf Cp Rp
Actually, Rs and Rp are existed in the equivalent circuit of
capacitor or inductor. If the capacitor is small, Rp is more
important than Rs. If capacitor is large, the Rs is more
important also. Therefore, use parallel mode to measure lower
value capacitor and use series mode to measure higher value
capacitor. For inductor, the impedance relationship is different
from capacitor. If the inductor is small, Rp is almost no effect. If
inductor is large, the Rs is no effect also. Therefore, use series
mode to measure lower value inductor and use parallel mode to
measure higher value inductor.
Open/short calibration
process to get the better accuracy for high/low impedance
measurement. The purpose of open/short calibration is to
reduce the parasitic effect of the test fixture.

ZMis defined as total impedance measured to DUT
( device under test ) by the special test fixture which has some
parasitic impedance.
ZM = (Rs + jȦLs) + ((Go+jȦCo)-1 || ZDUT)
ZDUT is the target impedance user wants to realize. It is
necessary to use the open/short calibration process to cancel
the effect of Rs+jȦLs and Go+jȦCo.

IV.Operation Instructions
To access optimum precision for all L, C and R measurements
especially at the highest and the lowest ranges, please use the
alligator test leads (TL-21) or improvised test leads applying to the
measurement for OPEN and SHORT calibration (refer to page
15~17) to reduce the parasitic effect of the test fixture before going
forward the measurement.
To secure the accuracy in specification, please only connect DUT
(device under test) to measuring socket or use TL-21 (standard
accessory) or TL-22 (optional accessory) for measurement.
If use improvised test lead for measurement please prevent using
long wire which may have incorrect result.
1. Power ON/OFF
yWhen power on, all symbols will display for 2 seconds.
yIn Auto Power off mode, APO will be shown on the display. It
will power off automatically, if without any key operation or
measurement for 5 min. Buzzer will beep three times to
remind auto power off is ready to activate and then “OFF”
display to power off.

yThe default setting is LCR auto mode at test frequency 1kHz.
yBattery condition is detected every second and displayed.

low and needs to be replaced a new battery.
yIf the key functions, the buzzer beeps once when key is
pressed. If the key has no function, the buzzer beeps twice
when key is pressed.
Using adaptor as power supply,
Auto Power off function disables
automatically and “APO”

2. CAL
yThis function enables the LCR meter’s internal parameters
and external connector residues to be calibrated to have
better and precise measurements.
yTo make better precision measurements on extremely high
or low impedance ranges of L,C,R, it is highly recommended
that do OPEN/SHORT calibration to reduce the parasitic
effect of the test fixture before measuring.
yNote: Remove any leads or DUT ( device under test ) from
the meter during this procedure. If leaving them connected,
will add impedance to the circuit causing the calibration to
fail indicated by FAIL showing on the display.

VII. Electrical Specification
Accuracy: ±(% of reading + number of least significant digits) at 23°C ± 5°C, <75% R.H.
1. Specifications are based on measurement performed at input sockets or terminals with Alligator
Test Lead Case (TL-21) after short & open calibration. (refer to page. 8~10 item 15)
2. DUT ( device under test ) & Test leads should be properly shielded to GUARD if necessary.
3. To make better precision measurements on extremely high or low impedance ranges of L,C,R, it is
highly recommended that do OPEN/SHORT calibration before measuring for following ranges
