The description in the manual doesn’t mean all contents in instrument.Tonghui reserves
the rights to change the performance, function, inner structure, appearance, accessory and
package without any inform! So please contact us by the address on the cover if you are
confused by the difference between manual and instrument.

TH2826 Operation manual Ver1.0
◇1
Chapter 1 The introduction and installation
Thanks for purchasing our products! The basic performance will be introduced firstly in this
chapter, then the necessary inspection after you receive the instrument, and also the conditions
before installing the instrument.
1.1 Introduction
TH2826 series component tester is the new generation impedance tester in China which
meets the LXI standard，it can fit all test requirement of component and material with its 0.1%
basic accuracy and 20Hz ～5MHz frequency. It can test low ESR capacitor and high Q
inductor and also be applied in analyze of the electrical performance in microphone, oscillator,
inductor, ceramic capacitor, LCD, variode, transformer.etc.
TH2826 series is a powerful tool for electrical component design, inspection,QC and
manufacture. It can be more suitable for point inspector, curve analyze of frequency response of
piezoelectric component .etc in auto production line with its high test speed. Its variable
impedance-outputting mode can fit to different standards. With its promitable
performance ,TH2826 series can realize the different tests of commercial and military standards
as IEC and MIL.
1.2 Inspection
Please check if the instrument was worn out in the transportation, we don’t recommend you to
charge the instrument if the cover of instrument is worn out.
1.3 Power connection
（1） Feed voltage range：100 ～120 V ac or 198 ～242 V ac. In relate with the power
setup on the rear panel.
（2） Feed frequency range：47 ～63 Hz.
（3） Feed power range：No less than 80 VA.
（4） Power inputting phase line L, null line N and ground line E should be same as plug.
（5） The instrument is designed to reduce the clutter interference from AC power input，
please use it in the low-noise environment, if not ignore, please install power filter.
——————————————————————————————————
Warning：In order to prevent leakage or people being hurt, user has to connect the
ground line to the ground.
——————————————————————————————————

TH2826 Operation manual Ver1.0
◇2
1.4 Fuse
The fuse is available, be sure to use our own fuse.
——————————————————————————————————
Warning：The position of fuse should fit the feed voltage range.
——————————————————————————————————
1.5 Environment
（1）Please do not operate the instrument in the place that is vibrative, dusty, under direct
sunlight, or where there is corrosive air.
（2）Although the instrument has been specially designed for reducing the noise caused by ac
power, a place with low noise is still recommended. If this cannot be arranged, please
make sure to use power filter for the instrument.
（3）Please store the instrument in the place where temperature is between 5℃and 40℃,
humidity is less than 85% RH. If the instrument will not be put in use for a time, please
have it properly packed with its original box or a similar box for storing.
（5）The instrument and the test lead of DUT should be far away from strong electromagnetic
field.
1.6 The use of test fixture
Please use the standard test fixture or cable，the user-made or other ones can lead incorrect
test result. The fixture or cable should be kept clean，as well as the pin of DUT, to assure
the DUT connect well with fixture.
Connect fixture or cable to Hcur、Hpot、Lcur、Lpot on the front panel. As for the DUT with
shielding case，then use shielding layer to connect with “”.
1.7 Warm up
（1） To assure the accuracy, the warm up should be more than 15 min.
（2） Don’t turn on and off the instrument frequently, doing so will lead to the loss of the
calibrated data and the data saved by users.
1.8 Other feature
（1） Consumption：80VA。
（2） Dimension（W*H*D）：400mm*132mm*385mm；
（3） Weight：about 10kg；

2.5Basic operation
The basic of TH2826 is listed as below：
Use（[LCRZ],[SETUP],[SYSTEM]）and softkey to select the displayed page you need.
（In figure 2-5）
Use ([←][↑][→][↓]) to move cursor to the zone needs setting. When cursor is moved to
some zone, then it will display by inverse, the so-called zone means the zone where the
cursor can be set.
The function of softkey in the zone where there is cursor will be displayed in
“Softkey”.Select and press the demanded softkey. Numeric key, [BACKSPACE] and
[ENTER] key is used to input data.
After pressing a numeric key，softkey zone will display the available unit softkey. You
can press unit softkey or [ENTER] to end data-inputting. When using [ENTER] to end
data-inputting，data unit is the default unit of the parameter in corresponding zone：Hz,
V or A. For example, the default unit of frequency is Hz.
2.6Open
Insert 3 line power plug，note：the feed voltage should be 198V～242V，the frequency should
be 47.5～52.5Hz. The phase line L, null line N, earth line E in power input should be the same
as that in power plug.
Turn on the power, and press the power switch at the left corner on the front panel，the

Just as that shown in figure 2-4，which is the humorous edition of our brand，there is a
capacitor in the middle of the earth combined by two T and a H，also the model （TH2826）
is displayed，as well as edition number（Ver 1.0.0）.

3.1.1Measure
In TH2826, two parameters of impedance component can be tested meanwhile：Primary
parameter and secondary parameter. The parameter is as below：
Primary parameter
|Z| (Module of impedance)
|Y| (Module of admittance)
L (Inductance)
C (Capacitance)
R (Resistance)
G (Conductance)
DCR (DC resistance)
Secondary parameter
D (Dissipation factor)
Q (Quality factor)
Rs (Equivalent series resistance)
Rp (Equivalent parallel resistance)
X (Reactance)
B (Admittance)
(Phase angle)
The test result of primary parameter and secondary parameter can be displayed with two lines
of large character. The primary parameter is displayed on the first line，and secondary
parameter is displayed on the second line.
