1. General instructions:
Thank you for purchasing a MS5308 LCR digital bridge meter.
The MS5308 LCR digital bridge meter is a professional
instrument for measuring inductance, capacitance and resistance.
It has many features, such as automatic identification, automatic
measurement range, high measurement accuracy and speed, wide
measuring range and so on.
An ordinary multimeter only provides DC mode for resistance
measurement, while the MS5308 provides both AC and DC
measurement modes. A variety of test frequencies up to 100Khz
can be provided for inductance, capacitance and resistance in AC
mode to meet the actual needs better.
Correct usage can ensure that the instrument will work precisely
for a long time. Please read the instructions carefully before using
and operate the instrument strictly in accordance with the
instructions .
