B. Other Opera onal Precau ons 1. Do Not Use the PRF-922B Micro Probe if it fails to func on during its con nuity inspec on test. 2. Do Not Use the PRF-922B Micro Probe if it becomes damaged in any way 3.
7. Do not a empt to measure energized materials, items or circuits with the PRF-922B 8. The PRF-922B is a precision fi xture to be operated by experienced personnel familiar in the use and handling of devices employing energized power supplies.

PRF-922B Miniature Two-Point Probe Set a. Hold the PRF-922B ver cally, and apply pressure to compress the electrodes, making posi- ve contact with the insulated surface. b. Ac vate the wide range, resistance instrument to obtain a measurement. In the case where the Prostat PRS-801 is the measurement instrument, it should measure 1.0x10...

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...
A proper measurement would include placing the material, or device under test (DUT), onto a clean metal test bed that is isolated from ground, such as the Prostat PTB-920 Test Bed. This insures that only the material is being measured and the measurement is not aff ected by voltage variables on ground.
PRF-922B Miniature Two-Point Probe Set charges on its surface. The Operator should also be properly grounded to avoid body charges infl uencing the measurement. The metal test bed is connected to the resistance instruments posi ve (+) terminal, which provides volt- age to the test bed during the measurement.
VII. Handling & Maintenance A. PRF-922B Miniature Two-Point Probe Fixture 1. Store the PRF-922B 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.
V. Warranty Informa on A.
