Setup 2.3. Range Selection and Measurement Voltage The TOM 600 provides a automatic range selection over the entire measurement range. The device selects the measurement range according to the connected resistance. Measurement range Measurement voltage ≤ 200kΩ: 10V DC > 200kΩ: 100V DC The automatic range selection can be turned off in the setup.

Manual TOM 600 Afterwards the device prompts whether the data stored in the EEPROM (files) should be deleted: DEL FILES? YES/NO Pressing button «B» switches between YES and NO. The selected action is confirmed by pressing button «A». If all data is erased the saving will start on File No. 001 the next time. The display...
Stored data can be read out via the PC interface later. 3.2. Timer In case of not activated timer the TOM 600 switches automatically to a live display of the measured resistance value. The device returns e.g.: R=5.5xE10Ω Ω Ω Ω T=OFF AUTO AIR: xx°C xx%r.F...

Measuring Techniques according to IEC 61340-4-1 11. Measuring Techniques according to IEC 61340-4-1 11.1. Surface Resistance (point to point) The electrodes have to be put on the covering to measure. The measured resistance depends on the conductivity, the surface condition and the distance between the electrodes. 11.2.
