ST1952 Operation Manual
18
If you want manual ranging, use the RANGE
and
keys to select a measurement range
consistent with expected voltage.
CAUTION: Do not apply more than 1000V peak
to the input or instrument damages may occur.
4. How to acquire a more accurate measuring result
If the “
.OL
” message is displayed in the primary display, press the up
key to select a higher
range until a normal reading is displayed (or press
key for auto ranging). Use the lowest
possible range for the best resolution.
5. Internal resistance of voltage measurement
DCV input impedance = 10MΩ
1000V~10V range
> 10GΩ
1V~100mV range
CAUTION: Maximum Input voltage=1010VDC
ACV Input Impedance = 1MΩ and 100pF
CAUTION: Maximum Input voltage= 750V RMS or 1000V peak
6. Crest factor
AC voltage and current accuracies are affected by the crest factor of the waveform, the ratio of the
peak value to the RMS value.

3.3 Measuring Current
Model ST1952 current measurement ranges are: 1mA, 10mA, 100mA, 1A, 10A
Maximum resolution: 10nA (on 1mA range)
