SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Symbols
These safety symbols may appear in the quick start guide or on the
instrument.
WARNING
Warning: Identifies conditions or practices that
could result in injury or loss of life.
CAUTION
Caution: Identifies conditions or practices that
could result in damage to the instrument or to
other properties.
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.

Disclaimer
Teledyne assumes no liability for the customer's
failure to comply with these requirements.
Ground The
Instrument
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
In An Explosive
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
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.

GETTING STARTED
This chapter describes names and functions of the front panel, rear
panel, and screen display and provides the basic procedures for
operating the T3LCR series.
Overview
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
Main Features
Correction
Function
•OPEN/SHORT correction
Eliminates measurement errors due to stray
parasitic impedance in the test fixtures.
Comparator
Function
(Sorting)
•Bin sort
The primary parameter can be sorted into
BIN1- BIN9, AUX, OUT and HI/IN/LO for
each of the primary measurement parameters.
The sequential mode or tolerance mode can be
selected as the sorting mode.
3
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.

•Limit Setup
Absolute value, deviation value, and %
deviation value can be used for setup.
•BIN count
Countable from 0 to 999999
Files
•Up to 10 setup conditions can be written
to/read from the built-in non-volatile memory.
Key Lock
•The front panel keys can be locked.
RS-232
•Complies with SCPI.

Warm-up Time
T3LCR series is ready to be used as soon as the power-up sequence
has completed. However, to achieve the specification accuracy, first
warm up the instrument for 30 minutes.
Connect to the Device Under Test (DUT)
The T3LCR series uses a four terminal measurement configuration
that provides easy, accurate and stable measurements and avoids
mutual inductance, interference from measurement signals, noise
and other factors inherent with other types of connections.
