Making Measurements
The meter provides 7 measurement types which are: LCRZ, ESR, DCR, diode, continuity, sorting and recording.
This chapter describes how to select a measurement type, set parameters, perform measurements and get the
results of the component under test.
WARNING
To avoid electrical hazards and possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, always
discharge the capacitor to be tested before measuring. For in circuit measurement, always disconnect
circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing.
NOTE
When doing in circuit testing, the test result may be affected by other components that connect to the
component under test. The component under test may need to be isolated from other components in order to
get accurate result.
LCRZ Measurement
LCRZ measurement includes auto mode (Auto), resistance measurement (R), inductance measurement (L),
capacitance measurement (C) and impedance measurement (Z).
Figure 3-1 shows a typical display in LCRZ measurement. It shows test frequency and test voltage on the top.
The primary display is in the middle showing component type and measurement result. The secondary
parameter reading is shown underneath the primary display. The circuit mode, sound icon and battery indicator
are displayed on the bottom.

Shortcuts are provided to quickly select the settings. Below are the available shortcuts in LCRZ measurement:
• Single click the “Up” button to switch test frequency as Figure 3-2 shows.
• Double click the “Up” button to switch test voltage as Figure 3-3 shows.
• Double click the “Select” button to switch component type as Figure 3-4 shows.
• Single click the “Down” button to switch secondary parameter setting as Figure 3-5 shows.
• Double click the “Down” button to switch circuit mode as Figure 3-6 shows.
• Press down the "Select" button for half second or so to go to the main menu screen.
