  • Page 5: Battery Installation

    BATTERY INSTALLATION A nine volt battery is supplied with the instrument but is not installed, to avoid possible damage due to leakage during storage or shipment. Install the battery as follows: 1. Remove the instrument back cover. 2. Insert the battery in place; make sure correct polarity is observed and battery terminals are contacting the battery clips.

    Figure 3-1. Control Layout, Model RATING PROCEDURE NOTE he instrument is factory set for wire operation. It can be asily changed for three wire use. Refer to paragraph 3.5. Connect the temperature probe to the input connector at the top of the instrument. Place the temperature range switch in the desired position.

  • Page 9: Section 4 Theory Of Operation

    SECTION 4 THEORY OF OPERATION This section contains a brief description of operation that should help a technician in understanding instrument operation during a measurement, to aid in isolating possible malfunctions. Detailed schematics of each model are provided at the end of the manual. THREE WIRE SIGNAL CONDITIONING Two phases are necessary to condition the signal for digitization.

    3. The input of A is connected to ground. The output of A equal to [A Vos]. 4. C is connected between the output of A and common. The voltage charged on C is equal to the output voltage of A or [A Vos].
  • Page 12: Four Wire Signal Conditioning

    FOUR WIRE SIGNAL CONDITIONING There are two phases necessary to condition the signal for digitization. Each phase lasts for a period equal to one-half of the back plane period of the A/D converter. These are called the zero and signal phase. 4.2.1 Zero Phase During the zero phase, FETs are switched to configure the circuit...

    4.2.2 Signal Phase During the signal phase the 4 charged values of voltage are transfered to other parts of the circuit (refer to simplified Figure 4-4). The following explanations assume more than one charge transfer has taken place. 1. C is connected across C and after a sufficient number of zero and signal phases the voltage on C...
  • Page 15: Low-Battery Detector

    LOW-BATTERY DETECTOR Low-battery detection is accomplished by comparing the regulated voltage between V+ and common to the output of the voltage divider (R107 and R110), which is connected across the battery. When the battery voltage decreases, the output of the voltage divider rises above analog common, causing comparator U103A to change state.
  • Page 16 CAUTION Do not touch the elastomer contact strips or mating surfaces on the PC board. Also, use care when spreading the clips to avoid breaking them. 5. The instrument may be reassembled by reversing the above prodcedure, using Figure 5-1 as a guide. When assembling the instrument, take special note of the following points: A.

  • Page 19: Probe Compensation

    PROBE COMPENSATION The procedure outlined in the last paragraph provides accurate absolute instrument calibration, but it cannot compensate for probe inaccuracy. Probe errors near 32°F (0°C) can be minimized by using the following procedure. 1. Make up an ice water bath by firmly packing a dewar flask or Thermos with pea-size ice cubes made of distilled water and then filling the container with distilled water.
  • Page 20: Voltage Checks

    5.4.1 Voltage Checks Several voltage checks can be made simply by connecting a DMM to various A/D converter IC pins. Table 5-2 summarizes these voltage readings. TABLE 5-2 VOLTAGE CHECKS REQUIRED STEP ITEM/COMPONENT CONDITION COMMENTS Connect DMM HI to +V Leave connected for all voltage checks.

    5.4.3 Waveform Checks Several A/D converter waveform checks can be made using an oscilloscope along with the information in Table 5-3. 1. Connect the oscilloscope LO input to analog common U102, pin 32. 2. Connect the oscilloscope HI input to the A/D converter pin indicated in the table.
  • Page 22: Static Sensitive Parts

    STATIC-SENSITIVE PARTS MOS devices are designed to operate at very high impedance levels. As a result, any normal static charge that builds up on your person or clothing may be sufficient to destroy these devices if they are not handled properly. Table 5-4 lists those parts used in the Models 868 and 869 that might be destroyed by static charge.
