Warning Dangerous
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 spark-like 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.
TELEDYNE assumes no liability for the
customer's failure to comply with these
requirements.
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 the instrument in the presence of
inflammable gasses or fumes. Operation of any
electrical instrument in such an environment
constitutes a definite safety hazard.

Safety Summary
ii
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 attempt internal service or adjustment
unless another person, capable of rendering first
aid and resuscitation, is present.
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.

How to Remove the Handle
After you receive the instrument,
perform the following
checks during unpacking according to the following
procedure:
Make sure that the packing box or shock-absorbing
material used to package the instrument has not been
damaged.
Check that all packaged items supplied with the meter
have been provided as specified:

If an abnormality is detected, contact the company and
transport the meter to your nearest TELEDYNE
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
TELEDYNE distributor or service center.
Set up the T3LCR Series where the following
environmental requirements are satisfied.
Operating Environment
Ensure that the operating environment meets the
following requirements:
Temperature: 0ºC to 50ºC
Temperature range
at calibration:
23ºC±5ºC (<1ºC deviation from the
temperature when performing
calibration)
Humidity: <70% at wet bulb temperature
-condensation)
Altitude:
0 to 2000m
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the T3
LCR 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 T3LCR Series
internally.

This chapter contains general information about T3LCR Series .The
information is organized as follows.
Introduction
Main Specifications
Feature overview
Thank you for purchasing an T3LCR Series LCR meter.
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 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 measure function permits entry of up to 10
frequencies or test signal levels points to be automatically
measured.
