Page 7: Overview
This chapter provides the basic operation procedures and describes names and functions on the display. Product Introduction LCR Elite2 (“the meter”) is a portable impedance measuring device for incoming inspection of components, quality control, and laboratory use. It is capable of measuring resistance, capacitance or inductance with 4 test frequencies (100Hz, 120Hz, 1kHz and 10kHz). -

Page 18: Making Measurements
LCR measurement includes auto mode (Auto), resistance measurement (R), inductance measurement (L), and capacitance measurement (C). Figure 3-1 shows a typical display in LCR measurement. It shows test frequency and test voltage on the top. The primary display is in the middle showing component type and measurement result. The secondary parameter reading is shown underneath the primary display. -

Page 22: Protected By Aegis Technology
The Aegis Technology is our patent pending solution that automatically protect the meter from being damaged by energized components. The traditional LCR meters have a common vulnerability to high voltage and current from the component they are measuring. In many cases, the component under testing can have stored energy, for example a charged capacitor or a powered on board. -
