8. MAINTENANCE
1)This LCR METER is intended for measuring the
capacitance value of a capacitor, the inductance value
of an inductor. It is not intended for determining the " Q "
factor for above reactive components. Misleading
readings may be obtained if the measurement of the
inductance or capacitance of resistor is attempted
2)When measuring components within a circuit ensure the
circuit the is switched off and de-energized before
connecting the test leads.
3)Instruments used in dusty environments should be
stripped and cleaned periodically.
4)Do not leave the instrument exposed to direct heat from
the sun for long periods.
5)Before removing the battery compartment cover,
ensure that the instrument is disconnected from any
circuit and the power switch is in the off position.
6)For all measurements, connect the Black alligator into
" - " terminal and Red alligator into " + " terminal .
9. RS232 COMPUTER INTERFACE
The instrument has RS232 PC serial interface via a 3.5
mm terminal ( 3-8, Fig. 1 ).
The data output is a 16 digit stream which can be
utilized for user's specific application.
