9-16 Limits and Digital I/O Model 2700 Multimeter/Switch System User’s Manual
Limit 1 will be used to test for the 1% tolerance and Limit 2 will be used to test for the 5%
tolerance.
The resistance values for the 1% and 5% tolerances are calculated as follows:
R

Front Panel Operation — For front panel operation, the INSIDE beeper mode must be
used. A normal pitch beep and the message IN indicates that the resistor is within the 1%
tolerance limit (
Figure 9-7 ). This 1% resistor belongs in Bin 1. A raspy beep and the “1”
message indicates that the resistor is >1% tolerance but <5% tolerance. This 5% resistor
belongs in Bin 2. For resistors >5%, no beep will sound. Place these resistors in Bin 3.
