FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
1. POWER Button – Press to power unit on or off. Press
and hold for Battery Test.
2. COMPONENT TYPE Buttons – Use to select
component type to be tested.
a-f: Press to select desired capacitor type
g-i: Press to select desired inductor type
3. LEAD FUSE – Unscrew for access to the test lead fuse.
4. TEST LEAD Jack – BNC type jack to connect test leads
to unit.
5. LEAD ZERO Buttons – Use to balance out test lead
impedance.
a. OPEN – Press to compensate for tet lead capacitance
with test leads open.
b. SHORT – Press to compensate for test lead
inductance and resistance with test leads shorted.
6. PULL CHART – Provides simplified operating
instructions and quick reference tables.
7. COMPONENT PARAMETERS Buttons – Use to enter
component parameters for limit testing.
a-k: Use to enter numerical portion of parameters.
l: CLR: Press once to clear numeric input. Press twice
to clear all component parameters.
m-o: Capacitor Value Multipliers: Use after numeric input
to enter capacitor value.
p-q: Percentage buttons: Use after numeric input to enter
component tolerance.
r: Volts: Use after numeric input to enter voltage for
capacitor leakage test.
s-u: Inductor Value Multipliers: Use after numeric input
to enter inductor value.
8. WARNING LED – Flashes to indicate leakage voltage
has been set to 25 volts or more. Voltage is only present
when CAPACITOR LEAKAGE button is pressed.
9. STOP TESTING LED – Flashes along with an audible
alarm and “FUSE OPEN” message to indicate test lead
fuse is open.
10. IN-CIRCUIT Test Buttons – Press to test capacitors or
inductors in-circuit.
11.
OUT-OF-CIRCUIT Test Buttons
a. Capacitor GOOD/BAD – Press to measure
capacitor value and ESR in-circuit.
b. Inductor GOOD/BAD – Press to measure
inductance value in-circuit.
c. Dielectric Absorption – Press to measure percentage
of dielectric absorption.
d. Capacitor Leakage – Press to measure the amount
of leakage after a voltage has been entered with the
COMPONENT PARAMETERS keypad (6).
e. Inductor Value – Press to measure inductance value.
f. Inductor Ringer – Press to activate Ringer test after
selecting inductor type (2g-i).
12. COMPONENT TEST RESULTS Display – Displays
the resultant value of test.
13. COMPONENT SETUP Display – Displays entered
component type, value, tolerance, and voltage rating.
