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

Environmental Requirements
Cleaning
How to Remove the Handle
Incoming Inspection
After you receive the instrument, perform the following checks
during unpacking according to the following procedure:
WARNING
If the external face of the instrument (such as the cover, front/rear
panel, VFD screen, power switch, and port connectors) appears
to have been damaged during transport, do not turn on the power
switch. Otherwise, you may get an electrical shock.
Make sure that the packing box or shock-absorbing material
used to package the instrument has not been damaged.
Refer to the <Packing List> in the packing box, check that all
packaged items supplied with the meter have been provided as
per the specified optioned.
Note
If an abnormality is detected, contact the company and transport
the meter to your nearest RS COMPONENTS Instruments sales
or service office. Save the packing box, shock-absorbing
material, and packaged items as you received them in case you
need to mail the instrument to an authorized RS Components
distributor or service center.

Environmental Requirements
Set up the LCR-6000 Series where the following environmental
requirements are satisfied.
Operating Environment
Ensure that the operating environment meets the following
requirements:
Temperature:
0ºC to 50ºC

calibration:
23ºC±5ºC (<1ºC deviation from the
temperature when performing calibration)
Humidity:
<70% at wet bulb temperature ≤40ºC
(non-condensation)
Altitude:
0 to 2000m
Cleaning
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the LCR-6000 Series
power cable from the receptacle before cleaning. Use a dry cloth
or a cloth slightly dipped in water to clean the casing. Do not
attempt to clean the LCR-6000 Series internally.

OVERVIEW
This chapter contains general information about LCR-6000
Series .The information is organized as follows.

Main Specifications
Feature overview
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an LCR-6000 Series LCR meter.
The RS COMPONENTS LCR-6000 Series is a general-purpose
LCR meter for incoming inspection of components, quality
control, and laboratory use.
The LCR-6000 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 LCR-6000 Series can output
comparison/decision results for sorting components into a
maximum of ten bins. Furthermore, by using the handler
interface, the LCR-6000 Series can be easily combined with a
component handler, 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.
