11. TEST JACKS: calibrated output provided at the test jack for resistance and current functions. This performs a self-check of the LKG 601. 12. ZERO ADJUSTMENT: This recessed adjustment allows for the zeroing of the display to eliminate test cable resistance variations.
CAUTION Make sure that the power requirements of the Device Under Test are within the power ratings of the LKG 601, 15 amps at 110 volts and 10 amps at 230 volts. CAUTION leave...
• Using the test lead provided, connect the chassis of the Device Under Test to the Case Ground jack on the LKG 601. • The display will indicate the Power Cord Resistance in milliohms. Case Ground...

Connect the Test Lead to the TEST JACK. Move selector switch CORD RESISTANCE. The reading should be 1010 milliohms + 5%. Move the switch to CASE LEAKAGE. The display will indicate 200 Micro Amps + 2%. These tests will confirm that the LKG 601 is working properly.
601 is returned to Netech for recalibration before the first year warranty expires Netech will provide a second year warranty. The warranty is void if the LKG 601 is serviced by anyone other than Netech or if the warranty seal is broken.
THEORY OF OPERATION The LKG 601 circuitry can be divided into main functional blocks as shown in Figure 3. Each performs a key role in the operation of the instrument. AAMI or RMS TO IEC 601 LEDS CURRENT SOURCE TEST...
Page 18
Current Source and Amplifier: Resistance is measured by connecting the current source to the resistance to be measured and measuring the voltage with the input amplifier. Test Receptacle: This supplies power to the unit under test, 110 VAC rated at 15 Amps (220 VAC).
SPECIFICATION S METER: 3-1/2 Digit LED display. LEAKAGE CURRENT: 0-1999 Micro Amps. All Current measurements are made through the AAMI/ANSI ES1-1985 or IEC 601-1 test load. The meter readings correspond to the true RMS value of the current. Accuracy: ± 1% of reading, + 1 LSD DC to 1 KHz, ±...
