Page 17: Cooling System
3.3 Cooling System The Model 6292 features a cooling system that increases the number of sequen- tial tests that you can run without overheating the instrument. A fan in the front panel exchanges internal heated air with ambient air. The cooling system includes a filter for preventing dust and dirt from entering the instrument. -
Page 18: Operation
The generated voltages and currents may be dangerous. The Micro-ohmmeter Model 6292 uses the four-terminal Kelvin method to pre- vent test lead resistance errors during measurement. The test current, selected by the operator, and the reading is obtained by comparison through internal high- stability standards. -

Page 22: Measurement Filtering And Working Frequency
4.8 Measurement Filtering and Working Frequency The Model 6292 has a strong filter to cancel the 50 or 60Hz noise present in a measurement due to the induction generated by high voltage substations. The working frequency is auto detected by the instrument, with the appropriate filter selected automatically. -
Page 23: Both Sides Grounded (Bsg) Mode
Test Duration set to Unlimited and you adjust the current to a value higher than 100A, the test will automatically become a timed test with a duration of 120 seconds. At the end of the test, the previous configuration is recovered for the prese- lected value of the current. Micro-ohmmeter Model 6292... -
Page 24: Warning Messages
■ LOW CURRENT: Indicates that the current is not high enough to measure the resistance. ■ OVERRANGE: Indicates that the resistance is above the maximum range for the Model 6292. ■ OVERHEATING: Indicates that the instrument has reached the maximum internal temperature limit. This message will blink. -
Page 25: Storing Objects In Memory
4.11 Storing Objects in Memory The storage capacity for the Model 6292 is approximately 1600 readings to 8000 readings depending on how the tests are stored. For example, if a new object is created for each measurement, only around 1600 results can be saved. But if the name of the object is never changed, it is then possible to save up to 8000 measurements. -
