LCR T4 Mega328 calibration

In this video I demonstrate how to calibrate the LCR T4 Mega328 meter for capacitance measurement. The meter measures several components including transistors, resistors capacitors and inductors.

Thank you for talking through this rather than just adding obnoxious music!

I did the calibration according to your procedure, since the battery was not new under 8 v, it turned off in the middle of the calibration, mtester did not want to turn on again. I put a brand new battery, started the procedure and did the calibration to the end.Thanks for the clip.

Thank you for sharing, this is Mohamed from Egypt, i just bought one today, is it possible to use rechargeable lithium battery with thus device as the Tc1 uses one

This was the only video I'd seen on calibrating this tester. In what way did any calibration, or adjustment, take place? Is there only a calibration test for capacitors?

Great video thank you! Very useful. How did you know how to do the calibration? I am trying to test N channel (BF245) and JFET (J201 etc.) transistors and need to understand the readout. Can you help please? Best wishes ; )

hi thanks for the video can you upload a video how to test esr of caps in circuit? there are some Russian video that program this LCR meter to find bad caps

[ahmadsaki]

Explain to me how to calibrate more and which capacitor you used. Thank you

[porlockos]

Is that normal that i some time to time especially when turned on witch cap installed it shows ESR = 0 Ohm and test need to be repeated few times before it show the result, or mine is damaged ?

I bought one several years ago and used it a bunch and didn’t use it for a few years and the battery was dead. When I put in a new battery it was displaying something like “not connected/bad component“ and won’t read anything. I did the three pin calibration and I was able to reset the unit and use it again.

Do we always calibrate that tester again and again ? I thought it will only need to calibrate once, then all kinds of components can be tested in just one calibration. By the way, the calibration of each component is different, am I right?

[SteveAaron]

Hi, I did that on my exact same tester bought a few days ago, and nothing actually happens when I short the three posts together….

[ninjutsuryu]

Which version of the firmware is on your tester?

[joeroganpodfantasy]

Working batteries don't get recognized from this device but a dead one shows up as a diode.

Anyone else seeing reverse transistor pin designation? I have placed a 2N2222 in the tester, but when the test is complete, LCRT4 shows reverse E.B.C designation. I was expecting to see 1(C).2(B).3(E), but seeing 1(E).2(B).3(C)!
