CAUTION
Caution: Identifies conditions or practices that could result in damage to the
instrument or to other properties.
When you notice any of the unusual conditions listed below, immediately
terminate operation and disconnect the power cable.
Please contact the Teledyne service center representative for repair of the
instrument. If you continue to operate without repairing the instrument, there
is a potential fire or shock hazard for operators.
The instrument is operating abnormally if:
- The instrument emits abnormal noise, smell, smoke, or a sparklike light during the operation.
- The instrument generates high temperature or electrical shock during operation.
- The power cable, plug, or receptacle on the instrument is damaged.
- Foreign substances or liquid has fallen into the instrument.
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation, service, and repair of this instrument.
Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific
WARNINGS elsewhere in this manual may impair the protection provided by
the equipment. In addition it violates safety standards of design,
manufacture, and intended use of the instrument.
-
Disclaimer
Teledyne assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements. -
Ground The Instrument
To avoid electric shock hazards, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to a safety earth ground by the supplied power cable with earth blade. -
DO NOT Operate In An Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of inflammable gasses or fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard. -
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace components with the power cable connected.
Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable is removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect the power and discharge the circuits before touching them. -
DO NOT Service Or Adjust Alone
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present. -
DO NOT Substitute Parts Or Modify Instrument
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform unauthorized modifications to the instrument.
Return the instrument to a Teledyne authorized service center for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
GETTING STARTED
This chapter describes names and functions of the front panel, rear panel, and screen display and provides the basic procedures for operating the T3LCR series.
Overview
The Teledyne T3LCR series is a general-purpose LCR meter for incoming inspection of components, quality control, and laboratory use.
The T3LCR series is used for evaluating LCR components, materials, and semiconductor devices over a wide range of frequencies (10 Hz to 300 kHz) and test signal levels (10.00mV to 2.00V & 100.0uA to 20.00mA).
With its built-in comparator, the T3LCR series can output comparison/decision results for sorting components into a maximum of ten bins. Furthermore, by using the handler interface, the T3LCR series can be easily combined with a component handler, and a system controller to fully automate component testing, sorting, and quality- control data processing.
The list Meas function permits entry of up to 10 frequencies or test signal levels points to be automatically measured.
Main Features
Correction Function| OPEN/SHORT correction Eliminates measurement errors due
to stray parasitic impedance in the test fixtures.
---|---
Comparator Function (Sorting)| • Bin sort The primary parameter can be sorted
into BIN1- BIN9, AUX, OUT and HI/IN/LO for each of the primary measurement
parameters. The sequential mode or tolerance mode can be selected as the
sorting mode.
• Limit Setup Absolute value, deviation value, and % deviation value can be
used for setup.
• BIN count Countable from 0 to 999999
Files| • Up to 10 setup conditions can be written to/read from the built-in
non-volatile memory.
Key Lock| • The front panel keys can be locked.
RS-232| • Complies with SCPI.

Power Off
Press the power key at least 2 seconds. LCR down when you release the power
key.
Warm-up Time
T3LCR series is ready to be used as soon as the power-up sequence has completed. However, to achieve the specification accuracy, first warm up the instrument for 30 minutes.
Connect to the Device Under Test (DUT)
The T3LCR series uses a four terminal measurement configuration that provides easy, accurate and stable measurements and avoids mutual inductance, interference from measurement signals, noise and other factors inherent with other types of connections.
Connect to DUT
WARNING
Identifies conditions or practices that could result in injury or loss of
life. Do not apply DC voltage or current to the UNKNOWN terminals. Applying a
DC voltage or current may lead to device failure.
Connect the measurement sample (DUT) to the test port (or the test fixture,
cables, etc. after the DUT has been completely discharged.
