Safety Precautions
The handling precautions, component names, and specifications are covered in the separate Getting
Started Guide (IM CA310-02EN).
Be sure to read the Getting Started Guide before using this instrument.
Basic Setup
1.
Turn the instrument on, and set the rotary switch to
2.

Auto power-off
If this is set to ON when the instrument is running on batteries, the power automatically turns off
if you do not operate the instrument for approx. 20 minutes. This is invalid when the instrument is
running off of the AC adapter.
Backlight
Turns the backlight on and off. If set to Timer, the backlight turns on for approx. 2 minutes every
time you operate a key.
Sweep time
When sweeping in steps, set the output duration of each step. When sweeping linearly, set the
output duration for the value to change from 0% to 100% (or 100% to 0%).

2.
Follow the instructions in the Getting Started Guide to connect the CA330 to the device to be
measured using the included lead cable.
3.
Use the rotary switch to set the range.
4.
If you set the range to EXTRA, press
Select a sensor from Cu100Ω, Cu50Ω, PT50, PT50G, and PT100G.
If you set the range to PT100, press TYPE
Select a coefficient from IEC(3851), 3850, JPT100(3916), and 3926.
TYPE
If you set the range to Ω, press
5.
Press the left-most ▼ key to set the wiring system to 2W (two-wire), 3W (three-wire), or 4W
(four-wire).
Sourcing
1.
Set the CA330's measure/source switch to
ON appears on the screen, and the output is turned on.
2.
Use the rotary switch to set the range.
3.
If you set the range to EXTRA, press
If you set the range to PT100, press TYPE
Select a coefficient from IEC(3851), 3850, JPT100(3916), and 3926.
TYPE
If you set the range to Ω, press
Note
At the 3000Ω setting, the CA330 sources resistance ranging from 0.0 Ω to 3300.0 Ω. At the 500Ω
setting, the CA330 sources resistance ranging from 0.00 Ω to 550.00 Ω. It can be used to calibrate
a RTD in this range.
4.
Follow the instructions in the Getting Started Guide to connect the CA330 to the target device
using the included lead cable.
5.
Follow the instructions for common operations in the Getting Started Guide, and set the output
value with the ▼ and ▲ keys. The number of counts that change when the ▼ or ▲ key is
pressed is different when the range is set to Ω and when it is set to some other setting.
Note
•
The CA330 is calibrated excluding the voltage dip in the lead cable.
Load current readings include an error resulting from the lead cable resistance.
•
The included binding post can also be attached to the terminal.
•
If the excitation current exceeds the upper limit, the source value display blinks.
