OverloadIndication

Range overload is indicated by a “OL” in the display with all

other digits blanked. Overload indication is normal in the

OHMS range with open circuit or too high a resistance.

PreparationforUse–Unpacking

Your shipping carton should include the LCR55A, one test lead set (one black,

one red), one pair of alligator clips, one 9V battery (installed), one spare

0.1A/250V fuse (inside the case), one holster, a warranty card and this manual. If

any item is damaged or missing, return to the place of purchase for an exchange.

MeasuringProcedures

General Procedures

1. When connecting or disconnecting test leads to/from a circuit, always ﬁrst

turn off power to device or circuit being tested and discharge all capacitors.

2. If the magnitude of a signal to be measured is not known, set selector switch

to highest range ﬁrst and reduce until satisfactory reading is obtained.

3. Strictly observe the max input limits.

Resistance Measurement (Fig. -1-)

1. Turn off power to the resistance to be measured and discharge any

capacitors. Any voltage present during a resistance measurement will cause

inaccurate readings.

2. Connect red test lead to +Rx Input and black test lead to -Rx Input.

3. Set Function/Range Switch to the desired Ωposition.

4. Connect test leads to resistance or circuit to be measured.

5. Read resistance value on Digital Display. Open circuits will be displayed as an

overload condition.

Note: On the 20Ωrange, an adjustment potentiometer (ZERO ADJ.) allows you

to zero out the test lead resistance. Short test leads and adjust the knob until the

display reads zero.

Diode and Transister Test (Fig. -2-)

The diode test measures the voltage drop across the diode junction.

4. Connect the red test lead to the +Rx Input and the black test lead to the –Rx Input.

5. Set the Function/range switch to or to M.W. position (to test diodes

found in microwave ovens).

6. Apply probe tip of red lead to the anode and black lead to the cathode

of the diode. The meter’s display indicates the forward voltage drop

(approximately 0.7V for silicon diode or 0.4V for germanium diode). Meter

will display overload condition for an open diode.

7. Reverse test lead connections to the diode to perform a reverse bias test.

Overload indicates a good diode.

Note: Overload condition for both reverse and forward bias tests indicate an

open diode. A low voltage reading for both bias tests indicates a shorted diode.

If the diode is shunted by a resistor of 1000 ohms or less, it must be removed

from the circuit before taking the measurement. Bipolar transistor junctions may

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com

be tested in the same manner described above.

Note: The test procedure of microwave oven diodes is identical to regular diodes

except forward voltage drop will be higher (3 or more volts) than standard

silicon diodes. LEDs may also be tested with the LCR55A in the M.W. position.

Continuity Test

The Continuity test checks electrical continuity between two contact points.

1. Set the Function/Range switch to .

2. Plug the black test lead into the –Rx jack and connect the test lead tip to one

of the contact points.

3. Plug the red test lead into the +Rx jack and connect its test lead point to the

other contact point. (See Figure 1 for connections).

4. The internal beeper emits a tone when resistance is less than approx. 30Ω.

Capacitance Mesurements (Fig. -3-)

1. Discharge all voltage from the capacitor (via a 20kΩresistor) before

measuring its value.

2. Connect the red test lead to the HI(+) input and the black test lead to the

Lo(–) input.

3. Set the function/range switch to the capacitance range that gives the best

resolution.

4. Apply probe tips to the capacitor leads

5. Read the capacitance value on the display (you may have to wait a few

seconds until the capacitor is fully charged). If “OL” appears in the highest

range, the capacitor is too large to be measured.

Note: Small value capacitors can also be measured by inserting their leads

directly into the Cx/Lx slots in the meter.

Note:The capacitance range is protected by a 0.1A/250V fast blow fuse. If fuse

blows, replace with same (see Battery and Fuse Replacement).

Note: The LCR55A has a residual capacitance of approximately 6pF in the 200nF

range. When using the 200nF range, note the residual capacitance and subtract

this value from the measured value.

Inductance Measurement

1. Connect the red test lead to the HI(+) input and the black test lead to the

Lo(–) input.

2. Set the function/range switch to the inductance range that gives the best

resolution.

3. Apply probe tips to the inductor leads.

4. Read the inductance value on the display. If “OL” appears in the highest

range, the inductor is too large to be measured.

Note: Small value inductors can also be measured by inserting their leads directly

into the Cx/Lx slots in the meter.

Note: The inductance range is protected by a 0.1A/250V fast blow ceramic fuse. If

fuse blows, replace with same (see Battery and Fuse Replacement).

Transistor Gain Measurement

The Transistor must be out of circuit.

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com

1. Set the Function/Range switch to the PNP(hFE) or NPN(hFE) position,

according to the type of transistor to be measured.

2. Plug the emitter, base and collector leads of the transistor into the correct

holes of test socket.

3. Read the hFE beta, (DC current gain) in the display.

Note: To measure the collector-emitter current, set the function/range switch to

the corresponding PNP(Icec µA) or NPN(Icec µA) position.

MAX Function

Push the MAX button to keep only the highest reading on the display. The

display is updated each time a higher value is encountered. Push MAX again to

release the display and to display current values.

Hold Function

Press the HOLD button to maintain a reading on the display. The reading is

maintained even when the probe tips are removed from the meter. Pushing the

HOLD button again releases the display.

Safety Test Leads

The test leads included with your meter have shrouded banana plugs to

eliminate the possibility of shock if the plugs accidentally pull out of the meter

while making a measurement. Always inspect the test leads for damage before

making any measurements.

Troubleshooting/Maintenance

If there appears to be a malfunction during the operation of the meter, the

following steps should be performed in order to isolate the cause of the problem:

Check the battery.

Review the operating instructions for possible mistakes in operating procedure.

Inspect and test the Test Probes for a broken or intermittent connection.

Inspect and test the fuse. See Fuse Replacement.

Except for the replacement of the battery or fuse, repair of the multimeter

should be performed only by a Factory Authorized Service Center or by other

qualiﬁed instrument service personnel.

The front panel and case can be cleaned with a mild solution of detergent and

water. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and allow to dry completely before using.

Battery/Fuse Replacement Warning

To prevent electrical shock hazard, turn off the multimeter

and any device or circuit under test and disconnect the test

leads before removing the rear cover.

1. Remove the screws and lift off the rear case.

2. Fuse Replacement: Remove the blown fuse (5 x 20mm) from the fuse holder.

Replace with a 0.1A/250V quick acting glass fuse (one spare fuse is located on

the right side of the battery compartment). Amprobe replacement fuse part

number is FP 125.

3. Battery replacement: Remove battery and replace with NEDA type 1604 or

equivalent 9volt alkaline battery.

4. Reassemble the instrument.
