    100 kHz. In this case the frequency of the test signal is not shown on the screen. For ESR based rejection of electrolytic capacitors two tables are used, one for standard aluminum electrolytic capacitors and the other for Low ESR capacitors. LCR-Reader-MP Manual Siborg Systems Inc.

  • Page 11: Quick Controls

    When the device is set to Auto-frequency the device automatically calibrates at 100Hz, 1 kHz, 10kHz, and 100kHz. To eliminate the offset, turn the jog-wheel clockwise, hold for 2 beeps and release. When measuring small capacitances less than 100 pF, use LCR-Reader Offset Calibration Board included in the package. LCR-Reader-MP Manual Siborg Systems Inc.

  • Page 12: R-L-C-D Mode Menu

    Primary Parameter In Auto mode the type of measured component is determined automatically: R: Resistor, L: Inductance, C: Capacitor, D: Diode. Measurement mode can also be set manually to R, L, C, Z as the impedance. LCR-Reader-MP Manual Siborg Systems Inc.
