Seaward CROPICO DO7010, Operating Instructions Manual, Page: 30 / 44

Putting in contact 2 metals from different material generates unwanted voltages
(EMF) proportional to the ambient temperature.
Two methods exist to cancel this problem: the Zero method and the Average method.
The ZERO method:
Φ
Select the ZERO line
– ON = Zero method operating
– OFF = Zero method not operating
Φ
Enter the selection with the Enter key.
The AVERAGE method:

measurements to get the resistance calculation. Select with the UP and DOWN
arrows:
– ON = Average method operating
– OFF = Average method not operating

voltage measurement with current, and subtraction of EMF voltages before
current, then a voltage measurement with negative current, and average of the 2
specimen under test conductive metals can introduce significant errors.
