3.3 Wire Disconnection Check Function
3.3.1 Overview
The wire disconnection check function of the AS amplifiers can detect a bridge wire
disconnection, short, or cable disconnection. Since disconnected portions can easily be found,
testing personnel can reduce the measurement preparation time or prepare countermeasures
against wire disconnections. The wire disconnection check function can be set to on or off using the
dip switch on the bottom face of the AS amplifier.
(The bridge resistance should be 120

or higher.)
Figure 3-3 Overview of Disconnection Check
When no failure is found after the wire disconnection check, the indication Good is displayed
on the digital monitor. If a failure is found, the failure information is repeatedly displayed on the
digital monitor
③
. The indication does not disappear until the BAL knob is pressed or the amplifier
unit power supply is turned off. For error contents, refer to page 3-5. After confirming the cause of
failure, take measures to repair the failure. Following repairs, press the BAL knob for longer than
five seconds for disconnection checking. If there is no problem, Good is indicated.
If disconnection or a short is detected, there is always an error indication. However, the failure
location may not be found depending on the number of disconnections or the disconnection
conditions on the cable or at the bridge, or both.
When the wire disconnection function is turned off, switch the dip switches on the bottom face
of the amplifier according to How to Switch Special Function Setting on page 3-9.
