The SPECTANO 100 Quick Start Guide thus provides only a small subset of information available for SPECTANO 100.
  • Page 5: Safety Instructions

    Operator qualifications and safety standards Testing and measuring with SPECTANO 100 and its accessories like the DTS1 dielectric test sample box must be carried out only by qualified, skilled and authorized personnel working with voltages up to 200 V AC and DC.
  • Page 6: Five Safety Rules

    ► Only use the delivered grounded AC power supply DRA SUPPLY to power SPECTANO 100. Never use power outlets without protective ground (PE). ► Always turn off SPECTANO 100 (with the power switch on the back) before connecting or disconnecting any cables or changing the test cell. Be especially careful when using unsafe adapter cables (for example, BNC adapter).
  • Page 7: Orderly Measures

    SPECTANO 100 and its accessories like the DTS1 dielectric test sample box may be used only as described in the SPECTANO 100 Quick Start Guide or the User Manual. Any other use is not in accordance with the local safety regulations.
  • Page 8: Disclaimer

    If SPECTANO 100 or its accessories are used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer or used with third party test devices and cables, the protection provided by SPECTANO 100 or its accessories may be impaired, and this may result in damage to property or persons.

  • Page 11: Introduction

    SPECTANO 100 Quick Start Guide Introduction SPECTANO 100 SPECTANO 100, in conjunction with its accessories or as stand-alone unit, is a test system for dielectric analysis of solid and liquid materials. It combines the time-domain and frequency-domain analysis within a wide frequency range from 20 μHz up to 5 kHz in one device and provides an output voltage range from...
  • Page 12: Dts1 Dielectric Test Sample Box

    Introduction DTS1 dielectric test sample box The DTS1 dielectric test sample box is an accessory to SPECTANO 100 for demonstrating and testing the functionality of SPECTANO 100 without a sample test cell. The DTS1 is a demo box containing two samples: a high-precision, low-loss 1 nF capacitor and a RC circuit simulating a dielectric sample with losses.
  • Page 13: Combined Mode (Fds And Pdc)

    100 mHz. This reduces the measurement time up to 75% compared to exclusive FDS measurements. For example, a FDS measurement from 1 kHz to 100 µHz will take 11 hours, SPECTANO 100 will acquire this data in less than 3 hours using the combined FDS and PDC measurement. The maximum test frequency range for the combined mode is 20 µHz to 5 kHz.
