Operating Instructions Power ON/OFF To turn the meter on or off, press the power button. By default, the meter is set to Auto LCR Smart mode with a test frequency of 1kHz. Auto Power Off To preserve battery life, the meter is programmed to turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity and 3 warning beeps. If a button is pushed during the three beeps, the meter will continue measuring. To turn this feature on and off, press the APO button. When enabled, "APO" will appear on the display.
Test Frequency Functions Test frequency can greatly affect the results of measurement readings, especially when measuring inductors and capacitors. This section provides some recommendations and suggestions to consider. Capacitance When measuring capacitance, selecting the right frequency is important in obtaining the most accurate results. Generally a 1kHz test frequency is used to measure capacitors that are 0.01μF or smaller. For capacitors that are 10μF or larger, a lower frequency of 120Hz is used.
Primary Impedance with Secondary Parameter Test The default test mode for this meter is Auto-LCR Mode, which checks the type of impedance and automatically enters L/C/R Mode. The secondary parameter will follow the L/C/R measurement, meaning that (L+Q), (C+D)*, (R+θ)** are combined in one group respectively. 1. Press the FUNC button to switch from Auto-LCR Mode to Auto-Lp Mode, Auto-Cp Mode, Auto-Rp Mode, and DCR Mode.
Capacitance Most capacitance measurements will obtain best results with parallel mode selected. The majority of capacitors have a very low dissipation factor (high internal resistance) compared to the impedance of the capacitance. In these cases, the paralleled internal resistance has negligible impact on the measurement. There will be some cases where series mode would be used for a capacitance measurement, or the readings will appear inaccurate.
Relative Mode 1. To reserve the current DUT readings (DCUR) on the primary display as a reference value (DREF), press the button. 2. The ∆ symbol will then appear on the LCD screen indicating this function is now active. The secondary display will show the percentage of the relative value (REL%). 3. Press the button again to show the reference value (DREF) on the primary display; the ∆ symbol will start to blink. REL% = (DCUR – DREF) / DREF x 100% Note: The percentage range is -99.9% to 99.9%.
Resistance When measuring resistance of devices, it is important to know that there are two types or ways of measurement. One type is DC resistance measurement. Another type is AC resistance measurement. The LCR meter provides both types of measurement. Before using the meter to measure resistance, please verify whether the DUT (device under test) requires DC or AC resistance measurement method. Depending on the method, results will vary greatly.

Press the CAL button a third time, and "SRT" will appear on the LCD screen, indicating to the user to put the shorting bar across the "+" and "-" input terminals. Press the CAL button a fourth time, and a 30 second countdown will appear on the screen.
Press the SETUP button and the "Range" symbol will flash on the display. 4. Adjust the range setting by pressing the or buttons 5.
