RMO30T Getting Started
Setting the Measurement Parameters
Directly after the first display RMO30T automatically changes to the
Curr
menu and the
green LED lights up.
Before a test can be started, the following needs to be defined in the
Curr
menu:
Test current; the following values can be chosen:
5 mA, 10 mA, 50 mA, 100 mA, 500 mA, 1A, 2A, 5A, 10A, 20A, 30A,
Memory position, 00-99
Test duration time can be set between 5 minutes and 60 minutes depending on test current,
see table under “
Measurement parameters”
(section 6.5).
In the
Curr
menu, define a test current for the test (here
10A
). To do so, set the value of your choice by
means of the
UP/DOWN
buttons. Define the memory position (here
m:23
).
Using button
RIGHT
move the cursor to the memory location position, and using
UP/DOWN
select desired
memory position to which obtained results would be saved. Once the test is completed (either due to
time expiration or when pushing the
STOP
button) the last measured result will remain registered in
RMO30T, and the memory position is automatically switched over to the next memory position. The
result can be recalled later by selecting that particular position number.
Using
RIGHT
button move the cursor to the test duration position, and using
UP/DOWN
buttons select
desired value.
Measuring with RMO30T
Before a test can be started, test current, memory position and the test duration time need to be defined
using the
Curr
menu.
Once these parameters are defined, press
ENTER
to change to the
Ready
state.
The
Ready
state displays the selected test current and its duration is defined. If one of these values has
to be changed, press
STOP
to return to the
Curr
menu.
The flashing green LED indicates that RMO30T is now ready to start the test. Press the
START
button to run a test. At the start of the test, a cable connection check is done. In case of e.g. a
disconnection, an alarm is activated and the error message is shown on the display.
During the test, both the green and the red LEDs flash alternately and the buzzer beeps. When the
current is stabilized, RMO30T starts the measurement of the test object resistance.
The display shows test current (here
9,98A
) and the effective value of the measured resistance (here
789,1m
Ω
on channel 1
and
788,9m
Ω
on channel 2
). The time remained until the end of test procedure is
also shown on the display (here
12s
).
Test could be completed in two ways:
- Pushing
the
STOP
button,
-
Automatically after the selected time has expired.
