Timing Chart 11.6 Timing Chart Each signal’s level indicates whether the contact is in the on or off state. When using the current source (PNP) setting, the signal level will be the same as the EXT I/O connector’s voltage level. When using the current sink (NPN) setting, the HI and LO voltage levels will be reversed.
Page 141
Timing Chart (1) When the trigger source is set to EXTERNAL and EOM output is set to HOLD Inputting the TRIG signal will cause the EOM signal to turn off and measurement to start. When measurement completes, the EOM signal will turn on and remain on until the next TRIG signal is input.
Timing Chart (3) When the trigger source is set to INTERNAL while the instrument is in the state The EOM signal will generate pulse output (with an output time measured in milliseconds). Once the HI, IN, LO, ERR, OB, or BIN0 to BIN9 signal turns on, it will remain on when measurement starts and will continue in that state until the next measurement completes.
Timing Chart Output signal status when the instrument is turned on Once the display switches from the Startup screen to the Measurement screen after the instrument is turned on, the EOM signal will turn on. If EOM output is set to PULSE, the EOM signal will remain off.

Measuring the Enclosure Potential of Laminated Lithium-ion Batteries Appx. 2 Measuring the Enclosure Potential of Laminated Lithium-ion Batteries This appendix addresses measurement of the enclosure potential of laminated lithium-ion batteries, including a description of causes of such potentials and precautions that should be observed during measurement.
Measuring the Enclosure Potential of Laminated Lithium-ion Batteries Standard electrode potential of materials used in lithium-ion batteries Standard electrode Area Material potential Positive electrode +1 V (1-n) Enclosure -1.7 V Negative electrode -2.9 V (1-n) Because the enclosure aluminum has a high potential relative to the negative electrode, the occurrence of an insulation defect between the negative electrode and the enclosure aluminum while another insulation defect is occurring between the electrolyte and the enclosure aluminum can trigger a reduction reaction of the aluminum enclosure, generating an Li-Al alloy.
Measuring the Enclosure Potential of Laminated Lithium-ion Batteries Response time The 63% response time can be calculated using the following formula, where R indicates the resistance between the HIGH and LOW terminals and C the capacitance between the lithium-ion battery’s positive electrode and its enclosure aluminum: 63% response time = C Ω...
Causes of Error in Voltage Measurement Appx. 3 Causes of Error in Voltage Measurement Thermal electromotive force Thermal electromotive force is the potential difference that occurs at connections between different metals, for example between the measurement cable’s metal pins and the measurement target. When this thermal electromotive force is large, an error will be introduced to measurements (see figure below).
Page 186
Causes of Error in Voltage Measurement Thermal electromotive force relative to copper Thermal electromotive Metal force (μV/°C) Nickel -22.4 Platinum -7.6 Aluminum -3.4 Lead -3.2 Brass -1.6 Carbon -0.6 Silver -0.2 Zinc Copper Gold Iron 12.2 Use a metal with a positive value for contacts facing copper and a metal with a negative value for the opposite side.
This type of noise is believed to be caused by lattice defects and contamination in the amplifier. Although Hioki strives to carry out inspections to reduce burst noise, it is not possible to completely eliminate this type of noise.
Noise Countermeasures Appx. 4 Noise Countermeasures Effects of induced noise A significant amount of noise may be generated by components and devices such as power cords, fluorescent lights, solenoid valves, and computer displays. The following phenomena may result in noise that affects resistance measurement: 1.
Page 189
Noise Countermeasures Electromagnetic coupling from a high-current circuit High-current circuits give off a magnetic field, and even larger magnetic fields may be generated by transformers or choke coils with a large number of turns. The voltage induced by a magnetic field is affected by distance and area (see Figure 3).
Noise Countermeasures Using the instrument with the power supply frequency set to 60 Hz in a region with 50 Hz power will cause measured value wobble even if the integration time is set in PLC units. Figure 6. Noise Rejection Characteristics Using Integration Effects of conductive noise Conductive noise embodies a channel of potential noise introduction that is separate from induced noise, which is superposed on measurement targets or measurement cables.
An effective approach for dealing with conductive noise is to implement countermeasures while monitoring the results with the Hioki 3145 Noise HiLogger. Once the offending circuit has been identified, the countermeasures depicted in Figure 2 provide an effective way to address the issue.
Measuring Multiple Targets Appx. 6 Measuring Multiple Targets To measure multiple targets with a single instrument, you will need to provide an external switching relay. Please note the following important considerations when designing the switching device: Relay selection (1) Choose a relay with low thermal electromotive force. Thermal electromotive force increases in the following order: Latching <...
Page 193
Measuring Multiple Targets Taking steps to prevent short-circuits Exercise caution concerning the following so as to avoid shorting the measurement target: (1) Design the switching device so that all contacts are off when it is turned on and off. (2) Allow an interval of time when all contacts are off when switching contacts (“break before make”). (3) Insert a fuse into the measurement line. Avoid use of fuses with a rating of 1 A or less and resettable fuses as they have a large thermal electromotive force.

• When removing the rack-mounting brackets and restoring the instrument to its bench-top configuration, use the screws with which the instrument shipped at the time of purchase (feet: M3 × 8 mm; sides: M4 × 6 mm). If those screws are lost or damaged, please contact your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller. When installing the instrument in a rack, use a commercially available shelf or other suitable part to ensure adequate strength. Remove the feet on the bottom of the instrument and the screws from the side covers.
