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.

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...
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.

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.

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.
PRF-912B & PRV-913B Miniature Concentric Ring Fixture Set Handling & Maintenance 1. Store the PRF-912B in a clean, dry environment with both BNC and Probe covers installed for environmental and mechanical protection. 2. Periodically, remove all spring-loaded test pins. Clean the spring-loaded test probes and Teflon mounting disk with a solution of laboratory grade isopropyl alcohol and a lint-less cloth, or laboratory quality swab.
