Disable Auto LCR Mode
Long press the button again will disable auto LCR mode. The unit will not continue
changing the primary and secondary modes, series/parallel equivalent mode and frequency
mode. “AUTO” indicator on LCD will disappear when auto LCR mode is turned off.
Test Frequency (FREQ)
The 880 LCR meter uses an AC signal to test and measure components at the input sockets or
terminals. With this measurement method, a test frequency must be selected. The test
frequency can affect the accuracy of the results depending on what frequency is selected, and
what type and value of component is being measured or tested.
For details on selecting the optimal test frequency for measurement, refer to the
“SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION” section.
Selecting Frequency
To select or change the test frequency, push the button once. With each press, the test
frequency will be indicated on the secondary display of the meter. This will remain displayed
until a different function for the secondary display is selected.
The selectable test frequencies for 880 meter are:
100 Hz, 120 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz, and 100 kHz.
Test Voltage Level (LEV)
The 880 handheld LCR Meter applies an AC signal to the device under test. The Test Voltage
Level is the amplitude of the AC signal. Some high-sensitivity components could display
different test results when using different test voltage levels. Therefore, a suitable test level
should be selected before measurement.
Press the button for 2 seconds to access the Test Voltage Level options. Every time the
button is pressed, the 880 will cycle between the available levels, which are: 0.6V, 0.3V
and 1V.
Measurement Rate (RATE)
There are two selectable measurement rates in this instrument: fast and slow. The rate of fast
measurement is about 4~5 times/sec and slow measurement is approximate 1.5 times/sec. The
stability of slow measurement is higher than fast measurement.
The fast and slow rates can be directly switched by pressing the button. “FAST”
indicator will be displayed on LCD at fast rate and “SLOW” indicator at slow rate.
