*Before use, read the following safety precautions. WARNING This instruction manual explains how to use your LCR meter LCR700. The following instructions are intended to prevent injury such as Before using, read through this manual to reduce the risk of fire , electric shock and so on.
[2] APPLICATIONS AND FEATURES [3] PART IDENTIFICATION 2-1 Applications 3-1 LCR meter and clipping leads LCR700 is a full-featured high-performance handy LCR meter which rivals the capabilities and options of many of its bench ⑰ ⑱ ① ⑯ counterparts. This instrument features a device value sorting function, allowing users to quickly sort passive devices in situations such as incoming inspections.
[4] DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS 4-5 Measuring Mode Selection 4-5-1 Auto LCR Mode 4-1 Power Switch After power-on, the meter is in the Auto LCR mode as a default Press the POWER button to turn on the meter. All segments of the setting, and shows [AUTO LCR] on the display.
4-5-2 Manual LCR Mode and DC Resistance Measurement Quality factor (Q) As already described, the default setting is the Auto LCR mode after = Inductance (L) component / Resistance (R) component power-on, the main function can be switched to the manual LCR mode Dissipation factor (D) or DC resistance mode by pressing the L/C/R AUTO/MANU button.
4-7 Series/Parallel Mode The meter uses the following formula to calculate relative When measuring L/C/R with multiple element in its equivalent circuit, measurements. an appropriate measuring mode needs to be selected, assuming REL% = (DCUR – DREF) / DREF * 100% actual circuit to be measured.
4-11 OPEN/SHORT Calibration 3. Insert the bundled shorting plate to the The OPEN/SHORT calibration before measurement reduces the parasitic directly connectable measuring terminals. effect of the test fixture to get better accuracy especially for high/low 4. Press the CAL button again. The display shows [Srt].

4-12 Device Sorting The display shows the readings. The meter can sort device values into PASS/FAIL based on resistance, capacitance, or inductance. This feature is useful in situations such as incoming inspections for mass production parts. Note: This function is not available in the Auto LCR mode. Use this function in the manual LCR mode.
4-15 MEASURING PRINCIPLES 4-15-2 Impedance measurement Impedance can be measured in series or in parallel. 4-15-1 What is impedance? In parallel mode, impedance can be represented as reciprocal of Impedance Z extends the concept of resistance to AC, which is admittance (Y).
[5] MEASURING PROCEDURE Both Rs and Rp are part of the equivalent circuit of capacitors and inductors. 5-1 Connection of DUT (Device Under Test) To measure capacitance and inductance, refer to the settings as DUT's (Devices Under Test) may be connected to the meter as follows. shown in the table below.
• Attach the SMD clipping leads "CL-700SMD" 5-2 Pre-operational Check (separately available accessory). WARNING 1. Do not use the instrument if the meter or the clipping leads look damaged. 2. Make sure the clipping leads are not broken. CAUTION • Make sure the battery condition is good after power-on. Replace the battery with new one if the battery power is low.
5-3 Auto LCR Mode Measurement 5-4 Manual LCR Mode measurement WARNING WARNING 1. Do not apply any voltage or current to the measuring terminals. 1. Do not apply any voltage or current to the measuring terminals. 2. Measuring live circuit may damage the meter. 2.
[6] MAINTENANCE WARNING 1. The followings are important to safety. Read this manual throughly to maintain the instrument. 2. Calibrate and inspect the instrument at least once a year to ensure safety and maintain its accuracy. The following shows how to set up the details of the sorting mode. a.
