Input Resistance
ADA400A Differential Preamplifier
Equipment
Required
1. Set digital multimeter to measure resistance.
2. Connect banana-to-BNC adapter to digital multimeter.
NOTE. To avoid an erroneous resistance measurement, make sure the 1 MΩ input
resistance jumpers are installed.
3. Set ADA400A '+' input to DC.
4. Connect coaxial cable from '+' input of ADA400A to the BNC-to-banana
adapter on the multimeter.
5. Check input resistance = 1 MΩ ± 2% (980 kΩ to 1.02 MΩ).
6. Remove coaxial cable from ADA400A '+' input and connect it to the
'- -' input.
7. Set the ADA400A '- -' input to DC.
8. Check input resistance = 1 MΩ ± 2% (980 kΩ to 1.02 MΩ).
