    SECTION 4: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: This equipment should only be operated by personnel familiar with high voltage testing and safety procedures. Improper operation may result in injury or death and can cause damage to the unit or test object. Ensure proper electrical set-up has been performed. Check that the Voltage Control dial is set to "0"...
  • Page 11 Example: 50 uA/1,000=0.05mA. The result can now be used directly in the above formula. 10kV divided by .05mA equals 200Meg-Ohms An alternate method is to use the formula; Kilovolts divided by Microamps multiplied by 1,000 equals Meg- Ohms. KV/uA x 1,000=Meg-Ohms Example: 10kV divided by 50uA times 1,000 equals 200Meg-Ohms DCD 4100-10...
  • Page 12 SECTION 5: RETURN-GROUND-GUARD CONNECTIONS The unit contains a currentmeter feature useful in measurement of different current sources. 1. Return Mode (RTN) (Grounded Return Mode) This is the standard measurement configuration. The Ground jumper is installed between the Ground (GND) post and the Return (RTN) post. The low potential side of the test specimen is connected to Return.
