    Resistance Standard fixture. The PRF-912B, however, is approximately 1/10 the size of the S11.11 fixture. Based on its size the PRF-912B is often referred to as a “micro probe”. 1. The resistance measurement range of the PRF-912B fixture is 0.9 ohms at <10 volts to 1.0E+12 (1.0x10...
  • Page 5 PRF-912B & PRV-913B Miniature Concentric Ring Fixture Set a. The PRF-912B’s center electrode is electrically separated from the outer ring contacts by a high resistance dielectric (Teflon). The center electrode acts as a current sensor during resistance measurements. It is connected to the negative (- ) terminal of a wide range measurement instrument via the RG-174 coaxial cable’s inner conductor, BNC coupler and dual BNC/Banana adapter.
  • Page 6 B. PRV-913B Dual Verification Fixture Description 1. Approximately 2 inches (50.1mm) square by 0.82 inches (21mm) thick, the PRV- 913B is designed to confirm the proper function of the PRF-912B, PRF-914B and PRF-922B Microprobe Resistance Fixtures. It consists of a high quality black anodized housing and circuit board incorporating an array of ten (10) each 10 megohm precision (±2%) resistors in parallel, connecting the center pad to each of...
  • Page 7: Cautions & Warnings

    Follow all Caution and Warning instructions at all times. A. Use of Measurement Power Supply 1. The PRF-912B is a high performance micro probed designed for use with a maximum input voltage of 100 volts. As such, it is capable of delivering an annoying shock to any person touching the spring-loaded contacts when they are energized.
  • Page 8 Never, under any conditions, exceed 500 volts during fixture test or repair. B. Other Operational Precautions 1. Do Not Use the PRF-912B Micro Probe if it fails to function during its continuity inspection test. 2. Do Not Use the PRF-912B Micro Probe if it becomes damaged in any way 3.

  • Page 11 1. Place material to be measured on an insulated test bed, the clean insulated surface (Black, labeled side) of the PTB-920, or an insulated acrylic plate. 2. Position the PRF-912B vertically directly over test area and lower it until the spring loaded center electrode makes direct contact with the material under test.
  • Page 12 For measurements greater than 1.0x10 ohms, use 100 volts NOTE: For optimal performance and accuracy, use the Prostat PRS-801 Resistance System in its AUTOMATIC Mode (either Default Mode 1 [Ohms], or Mode 2 [Exponential 1.0EXX/Ohms] display). AUTOMATIC Mode will control test voltage, resistance range adjustment and electrification period automatically.
