MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the resistor consists only of routinely inspecting the unit for physical damage and
cleanliness. Cleanliness is especially important on the high value resistors (1 M and greater).
These should be cleaned with isopropanol and a soft brush or cloth. Special care should be taken
to ensure that the terminal connectors are clean.
5.1
Maintenance, Inspection and Cleaning
5.1.1
Inspection
Inspect the shunt panel before operation. It should be free from physical damage with no broken or
bent binding posts.
5.1.2
Cleaning
Front panel by wiping with a dryt lint-free cloth. Male plugs and receptacles can be wiped with a crocus
cloth if they appear discolored. Do not use sand paper. Avoid using a cleanser since many leave a film.
Caution
Do not remove rear cover to clean inside of shunt box. Physical movement of shunts can cause
mounting stress and changes in resistance values.

Troubleshooting
5.2.1
Steps for Trouble Shooting the 9211B
5.2.1.1
A visual inspection is most important. Check to see if rear cover or panel is warped or
distorted. If it is, the entire unit should be re-calibrated at once.
5.2.1.2
If the binding post heads on the front panel are broken, they should be replaced.
5.2.1.3
If an electrical overload has been applied beyond the rating of each resistor, the entire
unit should be re-calibrated at once. (Note: A burned shunt will have a distinct charred odor).
5.2.1.4
If an open or intermittent circuit is found in the instrument, (no reading or varying
reading on millivoltmeter), check per 5.2.1.5 to 5.2.1.8.
5.2.1.5
All lead connections to binding posts must be tight. Leads should be checked for
continuity using a circuit tester. See that plugs are firmly inserted in female receptacles.
5.2.1.6
Lead connectors, plugs and receptacles should be checked for clean surfaces. Clean, if
required, using a crocus cloth.
