(<±1%) resistor connected across two test pads. 2. Properly used, the PRV-913B insures that all PRF-912B & PRF-922B spring loaded test probes make defi ned contact with the reference surface. It has the capability of providing a 1-megohm (1.0x10 ohm) reference measurement with a theore cal maximum total variance of 9.5x10...

For measurements greater than 1.0x10 ohms, use 100 volts NOTE: For op mal performance and accuracy, use the Prostat PRS-801 Resistance System in its AUTOMATIC Mode (either Default Mode 1 [Ohms], or Mode 2 [Exponen al 1.0EXX/ Ohms] display). AUTOMATIC Mode will control test voltage, resistance range adjustment and electrifi...

Figure 9: Measurement Illustra ons Using the Prostat PRF-912B Fixture Maintenance 1. Store the PRF-912B in a clean, dry environment with both BNC and Probe covers installed for environmental and mechanical protec on. 2. Periodically, remove all spring-loaded test pins. Clean the spring-loaded test probes and Tefl on moun ng disk with a solu on of laboratory grade isopropyl alcohol and a lint-less cloth, or laboratory quality swab.
