Do not use a mixture of different types of batteries or a mixture of old and new batteries. If the instrument will not be used for a prolonged period, remove the batteries before storage. The battery fluid will leak more readily during long-term storage, resulting in instrument malfunction. IM 2768-01E ― iii ―...
1. GENERAL Precision Wheatstone Bridge 2768 is an instrument designed for measuring DC resistance from 0.1 Ω to 110 MΩ. This instrument is equipped with a galvanometer and a power source internally, and the measured value is indicated in-line indication without using any additional equipment externally.

The case is located on the bottom of this instrument. Remove the cover by removing the screws to replace the batteries. The power source for the galvanometer is the dry cell battery (006P) located at the end of the case. IM 2768-01E ― 5 ―...
Fig. 4.1 Rx and GUARD terminal Connection (3) Selection of Multiplying Factor (Range) Select the multiplying factor judging from the estimated value of the resistor under test connected to the Rx terminal. (Refer to the table listed in paragraph 2.) IM 2768-01E ― 6 ―...
When the galvanometer pointer indicates zero accurately, the value of unknown resistor can be obtained from the following: Rx = (Dial Reading) × Multiplying factor (Ω) IM 2768-01E ― 8 ―...
Therefore, in measuring the resistance lower than 100 Ω, the influence of the lead wire resistance must be eliminated by measuring the resistor which is correctly calibrated, or by measuring the resistance of the lead wires. IM 2768-01E ― 9 ―...
Therefore, the unknown resistance Rx is obtained by multiplying the value of the measuring side dial Rs to the multiplying factor which is determined by the multiplying dial. ig=0 Fig. 6.1 Theoretical diagram IM 2768-01E ― 10 ―...
(b) In case a DC power source unit is used, if the ripple of the unit is large, the satisfactory operation of the galvanometer may not be expected due to the influence of the large ripple. IM 2768-01E ― 11 ―...

It is essential to complete the measurement as soon as possible. Be sure not set No. 1 dial of Rs to 0, and also not to short the Rx terminals. IM 2768-01E ― 12 ―...
