1.1 General
The MT4080 is a high accuracy handheld LCR meter that can
perform the inductor, capacitor and resistor measurement up to
100KHz within 0.2% basic accuracy. It is the most advanced
handheld AC/DC impedance measurement instrument to date. The
MT4080 can help engineers and students to understand the
characteristic of electronics components. It is also of great
assistance to those people who want to do the quality control of the
electronics components.
The instrument is auto or manual ranging. Test frequencies of
100Hz, 120Hz, 1KHz, 10KHz or 100KHz (MT4080A only) may
be selected on all applicable ranges. The test voltages of
50mVrms, 0.25Vrms, 1Vrms or 1VDC (DCR only) may also be
selected on all applicable ranges. The dual display feature permits
simultaneous measurements.
Components can be measured in the series or parallel mode as
desired; the more standard method is automatically selected first
but can be overridden.
The highly versatile MT4080 can perform virtually all the
functions of most bench type LCR bridges. With a basic accuracy
of 0.2%, this economical LCR meter may be adequately
substituted for a more expensive LCR bridge in many situations.
The meter is powered from two AA Batteries and is supplied with
an AC to DC charging adapter and two AA Ni-Mh Rechargeable
