    77 Series III Service Manual The pins of Z1 are used as follows: Z1-PIN NUMBER FUNCTION input 3.2V range tap 32V range tap 320V range tap 1000V dc/750V ac range tap Overvoltage protection is provided by R1, RV1, RV2, RV3, and RT1. RT1 is a thermistor that normally has about 1 k of resistance, but increases to very high impedance as it heats up with an overload voltage.

  • Page 22: Active Filter

    Theory of Operation Detailed Description 2-9. Active Filter An active filter that includes R9, R10, C5, and C6 is located in U1. Conditioned input signals are passed through the active filter in route to the a/d converter section of U1. (See Figure 2-2, AC and A/D Converter.) The clock frequency for the digital portion of the circuit is a function of 32.768-kHz crystal Y1.

  • Page 23: S1 Function Codes

    77 Series III Service Manual Conditioned input signals are routed to the a/d converter in U1, where they are integrated. The reference voltage developed by reference supply VR1, R15, R16, and R8 is routed to the a/d converter in U1, where it is used for the integrate reference (de-integrate) portions of the measurement cycle.
