ACL 880 Digital Resistance Meter I. Introduc on & Descrip on The ACL 880 instrument is a digital resistance meter that measures accurately from 1.0x10 to 1.0x10 ohms. In its AUTO mode the instrument automa cally adjusts resistance range and selects test voltage in accordance with standard prac ces outlined in ANSI/ESD STM11.11, and meets audit requirements...

ACL 880 Digital Resistance Meter There are two main Modes of ACL 880 Opera on 1. AUTO mode (Displayed as GO A): Automa cally adjusts resistance range, test voltage and Elec- trifi ca on Period (EP). Measurements stops at the end of EP, Green LED is ON, measurement is displayed for 10 seconds then instrument resets for the next measurement.

(EP) to insure an accurate representa on of the material under test. The ACL 880 measurement process is quite fast and once a measurement is stable in the LCD, the operator may elect to use the stable displayed measurement. In this case the EP is manually determined by the operator.
ACL 880 Digital Resistance Meter V. Measurements in Manual Mode To manually select a specifi c test voltage, once leads or fi xtures are installed, slide the Main Power switch to ON. A. Press the MODE bu on one me and note the illuminated LED above AUTO is OFF, and the LED above <10V, is ON.
