Operating Instructions 

5.1  Connecting the LCR-600 

Connect the power cable to your meter. Now connect the BNC 

Plug to Clip Lead Wire to the BNC terminals on the LCR-600. Make 
sure that you connect according to the color bands.  

5.2  Powering On 

LCR-600 has two power switches: Line Power Switch [25] on 

the rear panel for the transformer and then the Power Button [3] on 
the front panel for the operational system. 

Switch “ON” the Line Power Switch [25] on the rear panel then 

press the Power Button [3] on the front panel to light the LCD. 

5.3  Open Circuit / Short Circuit Compensation 

LCR-600 provides open circuit and short circuit compensation 

so that you can measure high resistance and low resistance more 
accurately. You must first calibrate these functions. Start by making 
sure the clip ends of the leads are not touching each other. Set the 
display at “OPEN” by pressing the CAL [6] key for 2 seconds. The 
main LCD will display [Open]. Then press CAL [6] again to start the 
open circuit calibration. The calibration will need about 30 seconds, 
after which the LCD will display [PASS]. The LCR-600 has now 
automatically finished the open circuit calibration.  

Now for the short circuit calibration, connect the two clip ends 

of the lead together to create a short circuit. Press the CAL [6] key 
again for 2 seconds. The main LCD will display [Srt]. Now press the 
CAL [6] key again to start the short circuit calibration. As with the
