RMO500 Getting Started
During the test, both the green and the red LEDs flash alternately. The display
shows a graphical representation of the output current that ramps from 0A to the
defined maximum value (here
400A
).
Once the current ramp reaches its maximum value, RMO500 measures the
current through the test object and the voltage at the test object for 1s, calculates
the resistance from these values, and saves the data at the present memory
position.
Afterwards, RMO500 ramps down the output current from the max. value to 0A.
When 0A is reached, the test is finished and the green LED lights up.
Note:
To stop the test prematurely, press the
STOP
button at any time during the
test. The current will immediately drop to 0A.
Continuous Test
Before a test could be started, test current, its duration and memory location must be
defined using
Cont
menu. Press
ENTER
to change to the
Test
menu.
The
Test
menu displays selected test current (here
300A
), its duration (here
60 sec
) and
memory location of the result (here
m:40
). If one of these values has to be changed,
press
ESC
to return to the
Sing
menu.
The flashing green LED indicates that RMO500 is now ready to start the test.
Press the
Ω
button to run a test.
During the test, both green and red LEDs flash alternately. The display shows
test c curent (here
300A
) and the current value of the measured resistance (
94.2µ
Ω
).
T The time passed since the test begining is also shown on the display (
00:35
).
Upon completed test (due to expire of selected time or due to push to the
STOP
button)
at selected memory location the last measured result will remain registered.
