Theory of Operation Introduction Introduction 2-1. This chapter describes the functional blocks shown in Figure 2-1. Overall descriptions are broken down into Power Supply, Analog Circuitry, and Digital Circuitry. For all measurements, inputs (e.g., Ë and â) are applied through overvoltage (and overcurrent) protection circuits, switched to an appropriate range, and branched into two signal paths.
The NiCd battery pack recharges in a minimum of 16 hours when the GMM is not operating or at a trickle rate while the GMM is operating. Only cells in the Fluke BP7217 battery pack can be charged internally. Internal charging is not available with Model 863.
867B,863 Service Manual Power Supply Output Voltages and Currents 2-6. Refer to Table 2-2. Table 2-2. Power Supply Outputs Ripple Name Voltage Tol ± ± ± ± V Tol ± ± ± ± % Power Notes (peak to peak) 5.2V 0.26...
Table 2-3. Power Supply Signals Signal Name Description BACKLIGHT_ON* Control signal generated by U25. In Model 867B, this signal toggles the backlight power levels. BATT_LVL Monitors an attenuated (0 to 5V) version of the raw battery voltage. This signal is monitored by the U25 microprocessor A/D Converter.
NiCd Charging Requirements 2-9. Models 867B use an internal two-state charger. The initial charge state is at approximately 170 mA (±30 mA) to allow for full overnight charging (16 hours minimum). The second charge state is at approximately 40 mA (±15 mA) to allow for battery charge maintenance without full charging from a discharged condition.
This prevents excessive power dissipation in Q22 with a dead battery or shorted cells. Note The Fluke battery pack (BP7217) uses an extra wire to allow charging current to flow. If individual batteries are installed, no connection is made, and no charging current can flow.
867B,863 Service Manual DC-DC Converter (D) 2-15. The DC-DC converter is a conventional push-pull transformer couple type. The center tap of T1 is fed from the +15 from the boost preregulator. Q16 drives one side or the other of the primary to ground at the rate of approximately 100 kHz, determined by the oscillator (U34, R10, and C22) and a divide-by-2 flip-flop (U33).
Theory of Operation Input Overload Protection a 3 volt minimum value for VCC. C19 delays this trip for at least 100 ms after power is applied to the GMM. CR5 assures that the cycle is completely repeated by discharging C19 at power down. Linear Post Regulators (I) 2-20.
867B,863 Service Manual • The Millivolt Sense Path is used for DC measurements in the 3V and 300 mV dc ranges, and for all Ohms, Diode Test, and Component Test measurements. This path uses two 100-kΩ resistors (R99 and R20), two metal-oxide varistors (RV2 and RV3), and internal clamp diodes (U30).
Theory of Operation Input Signal Conditioning resistor of Z1, which is connected to a virtual ground created by U6. C31 blocks DC voltages. CR3 clamps any over voltages to a safe level for U18. The signal is returned through Ground 3, to TP6, Ground 5, U26, L8, the low leg of R109, and then to the â...
867B,863 Service Manual precharging the Slow A/D Converter through U30-67 (the analog processor). The output also goes to an RC filter (R30 and C26) and then on to the Slow A/D Converter at U30- 66 (TP17). See Table 2-6. Table 2-6. RMS Converter (U3)
Theory of Operation Input Signal Conditioning Ohms 2-29. Ohms measurements are connected at the Ë and â inputs. A ratiometric measurement method is used: the same current is sourced through the unknown resistor and a reference resistor. The Slow A/D Converter first integrates the voltage across the unknown resistor, then deintegrates using the voltage across the reference resistor.
867B,863 Service Manual mA/µA 2-32. Milliamp and microamp measurements are connected at the = and â inputs. For the 300 mA and 30 mA ranges, input current flows through L9, F2, K1-4, K1-5, K1- 6, R42, and R109 to â. The voltage developed across R42 and R109 is sensed through R151 by U16.
Theory of Operation Waveform Processing Waveform Processing 2-34. Overview 2-35. An input signal takes AC and DC paths. With AC voltage or AC current functions, the signal is sent directly to the Fast A/D Converter for digitizing. With DC voltage or DC current functions, signals from the AC path and the DC path are recombined to form an AC + DC signal.
867B,863 Service Manual The sum amplifier in U30 adds the reconstructed AC + DC input and the midpoint bias signal from the second divider. When the GMM is displaying waveforms, R145 and C99 form a filter that is selected by the analog switch (U14-3, U14-4, U14-5, and U14-9.) The output of this filter is...
Theory of Operation Waveform Triggering • The upper comparator, controlled by DAC2, recognizes signals crossing the more positive of two thresholds. The DAC2 output passes through filter R67 and C79; the filtered DAC2 output can be observed at TP16. • The lower comparator, controlled by DAC1, recognizes signals crossing the more negative threshold.
867B,863 Service Manual Glitch Capture 2-42. A brief spike (glitch) on the input signal can be used to trigger the GMM for a single waveform acquisition. Glitch capture thresholds are fixed at ±10% of the full scale value of the waveform display. For example, in the 3V range the full scale value of the waveform display is approximately ±5V.
Theory of Operation Component Test Test the auto diode circuit by placing a diode across the input terminals and viewing the input waveform to the Fast A/D Converter (TP19.) A rectified waveform indicates that the analog circuit is working properly. Component Test 2-48.
867B,863 Service Manual Digital Circuitry 2-49. The H8 microprocessor (U25) provides the core of the digital circuitry. The processor fetches instructions from two 128k x8 ROMs (U11 and U19) in 16-bit words. A single 32k x8 RAM (U20) provides system Read/Write memory. A serial 16k-bit EEPROM (U23) provides nonvolatile data storage (setup information, calibration constants, and saved waveforms).
Warranty Repairs and Shipping Information 3-2. If your GMM is still under warranty, see the warranty information at the front of this manual for instructions on returning the unit. To contact Fluke, call one of the following telephone numbers: USA and Canada: 1-800-44-FLUKE...
867B,863 Service Manual Note Modern electronic components are sensitive to static voltages under 100V. You can develop a charge of 2,000V by walking across a vinyl tile floor or a charge of 5,000 to 15,000V when polyester clothing moves on your body.
Maintenance Reasssembly Reasssembly 3-6. Generally, reassembly reverses the disassembly procedure. Specifically, do the following: 1. Verify that the selector switch still points to “OFF”. 2. Place the case top face down on a non-marring surface. Note At all times, avoid stressing the ribbon cable. 3.
