PRS-812 Resistance Meter
23
a. The instrument will:
(1) Apply and display the selected Test Voltage, or automatically default to and
display the appropriate voltage for the selected resistance decade
(2) Self adjust the measurement resistance range to the
selected decade
(3) Start the electrification period timer
b. If the measurement is within the
selected decade
, it and the electrification time will
be displayed continuously in the LCD.
c. Pressing RESET will stop the Measurement Test Cycle, and simultaneously:
(1) Turn Test Voltage power supply OFF
(2) Save the displayed measurement in the Memory Register
(3) Add one data point to the MEM XX counter and display total number of data
points in the Memory Register, e.g.,
MEM 05
(4) Prepare the instrument for the next measurement using the same settings.
(5) Pressing TEST will start a new Measurement Test Cycle
7. If the resistance you are measuring is
higher
than the decade that the PRS-812 is set
for
OL
(Over Level)
will be displayed. To move the selected resistance range up to a
higher decade:
a. Press RESET once, this stops the Test Cycle but
does not add OL
to the Memory
b. Press MANUAL RESISTANCE RANGE SELECTION up arrow (
) to select the
desired decade; the appropriate LED will illuminate indicating the current selection
c. Press TEST to restart the Test Cycle
d. Repeat the RESET, Resistance Range adjustment and TEST sequence until a
stable measurement is displayed
8. If the resistance is
lower
than the selected decade, the PRS-812 will display
UL (Under
Level)
. To move the selected resistance range up to a lower decade:
a. Press RESET once, this stops the Test Cycle but
does not add UL
to the Memory
b. Press MANUAL RESISTANCE RANGE SELECTION down arrow (
) to select the
desired decade; the appropriate LED will illuminate indicating the current selection
c. Press TEST to restart the Test Cycle
d. Repeat the RESET, Resistance Range adjustment and TEST sequence until a
stable measurement is displayed
F. Resistance Measurements in the AUTOMATIC/MANUAL MODE of OPERATION
