Hioki IM3533-01 LCR Meter (Advanced Function Model)

Hioki IM3533-01 – LCR Meter (Advanced Function Model)

• ±0.05% accuracy with wide measurement range (DC, 1mHz to 200kHz, 5mV to 5V, 10uA to 50mA)
• Non-stop testing over mixed measurement conditions such as C-D and ESR at 10 times the speed of previous models
• Dedicated modes for measuring transformer winding ratio, mutual inductance and temperature compensated DCR

The Hioki IM3533-01 LCR Meter is a highly cost-effective testers that provides greater performance and better functionality than previous HIOKI models, such as a high basic accuracy of ±0.05%, a wide measurement frequency from 1 mHz to 200 kHz, highspeed measurement of up to 2 ms, highly reliable measurement using the contact check function, and measurement of turn ratio and mutual inductance.

This product is not supplied with measurement probes or test fixtures. Please select and purchase the measurement probe or test fixture options appropriate for your application separately. All probes are constructed with a 1.5D-2V coaxial cable. For an RS-232C connection: A crossover cable for interconnection can be used. You can use the RS-232C CABLE 9637 without hardware flow control.

Basic Performance

Wide measurement frequency range

The measurement frequency can be freely set to DC or any value in the 1 mHz (40 Hz for the IM3523) to 200 kHz range at high resolution (five-digit resolution [1 mHz resolution for less than 100 Hz]). This makes it possible to measure the resonant frequency and perform measurement and evaluation under conditions close to actual conditions.
Wide setting range for measurement voltage and current

Wide setting range for measurement voltage and current

In addition to normal open-loop signal generation, these models enable voltage/current dependent measurement in constant voltage/ current modes.

The signal levels can be set over wide ranges from 5 mV to 5 V and from 10 μA to 50 mA. (The setting range of measurement signal levels varies depending on the frequency and measurement mode.)

Basic accuracy ±0.05%

The basic accuracy of Z is ±0.05%. This fits a wide array of applications ranging from the inspection of parts to research and development measurements.

Accuracy guaranteed at measurement cables of up to 4 meters

Four-terminal pair configuration reduces the influence of measurement cables and accuracy is guaranteed at the measurement cable lengths of up to 4 meters. This simplifies the wiring of automated machinery. With models IM3523 and IM3533, accuracy is guaranteed at measurement cable lengths of up to 4 meters with the cable length correction set to 1 meter. (The frequency range for which accuracy is guaranteed varies depending on the cable length.)

15 parameters can be measured

The following parameters can be measured and selected parameters can be imported to a computer: Z, Y, θ, Rs (ESR), Rp, Rdc (DC resistance), X, G, B, Ls, Lp, Cs, Cp, D (tanδ), and Q.

Fastest measurement time 2 ms

The fastest measurement time of 2 ms at a measurement frequency of 1 kHz and the measurement speed FAST improves the inspection throughput used in automated machinery.

Functions and Features for LCR Measurements on Production Lines

Contact check function incorporated

The contact check function for four-terminal measurement and the Hi-Z reject function for two-terminal measurement ensure the measurement electrode is in contact with the measurement object during measurement.

Continuous measurement under different measurement conditions

Different measurement items can be measured continuously under different measurement conditions (frequency, level, and mode).

Protection against charged capacitors*

To address situations when a charged capacitor is incorrectly connected to the measurement terminal, the protection function* has been improved to 10 times of the amount of residual charge of the previous model 3522-50.

Functions and Features to Simplify the Operation of LCR Measurements

Instrument mode indicators

Indicators allow you to identify the operating conditions of the instrument even when the touch screen is off.

Easy touch screen operation

A touch screen with intuitive operation is inherited from previous models. Furthermore, the incorporation of a color LCD means the display is easy to view, and outstanding, easy-to-understand operability helps improve work efficiency

Power indicator

The power indicator allows you to identify the on/off status of the LCR meter even when integrated into automated machinery or the LCD display is off.

Easily change the measurement conditions such as the measurement frequency and measurement signal level while you monitor the measurement values
