Processing calibration before measurement

In order to improve the accuracy of high/low impedance, it is recommended to do OPEN/SHORT calibration mode before measurement. Press and hold down the button for 2 seconds to enter calibration mode. The calibration procedure: OPEN ready¹ →[CAL] → OPEN calibration (30s) →[CAL] → SHORT ready² → [CAL]→ SHORT calibration (30s) . During open or short calibration processing, the 30-second countdown will be shown on LCD panels. If the calibration procedure is finished, the PASS or FAIL symbol will shown on the primary display. If PASS symbol for both OPEN and SHORT modes, the calibration data will be saved after push CAL key again.

¹OPEN ready means the input sockets or terminals have nothing connected
²SHORT ready means put a shorting bar or a short piece of conductive metal (i.e. paper clip) across the “+” and “-” input sockets or terminals.

Sorting a bunch of components

The sorting mode could help the user to make a quick sort for a bunch of components. Select the primary measurement mode (L/C/R) based on the type of components to be measured. Insert the component to be used as the “standard” reference value. Another words, insert a known “good” component that will be used for testing against all other components. Press [SORTING] button to enter to the sorting mode. The sorting mode cannot be activated unless the meter senses a component is connected to either the input sockets or terminals . When sorting mode is activated, the reference value, range and the tolerance settings can be modified.
The setting process:
[SETUP]→ range setting(use </>) → [ENTER] → reference value setting (use ∧/∨/</>) →[ENTER] → tolerance setting(use </ >) →[ENTER] →sorting mode
The tolerance range setting selection: +0.25% → ±0.5% → ±1% → ±2% → ±5% → ±10% → ±20% →+80%-20%. The default tolerance is ±1%.

In the sorting mode, the primary display to show PASS or FAIL status depends on whether the impedance measured exceeds tolerance range. The current measurement result will be shown on the secondary display. Press the [SORTING] button to exit this mode.

WARNING: If the component to be measured is a capacitor, be sure that the capacitor is fully discharged BEFORE inserting it into the input sockets or terminals. For large capacitors, it may take longer periods of time for a full discharge. Inserting a charged or partially charged capacitor into the meter’s input sockets or terminals may produce an electric hazard and may also damage the instrument, making it unusable
