    1. Introduction 1.1 Product Overview The 12704A resistivity chamber is a shield box that is used to measure the volume resistivity and surface resistivity of sheet, cloth and filmy samples together with a digital electrometer, a digital ultra-high resistance/micro current meter, or other measuring instruments.
  • Page 7: Before Using The Product

    (3) Operating Environment Use the 12704A in an area free from dust, corrosive gas and vibrations and away from di-  rect sunlight. The ambient temperature should be 0°C to + 60°C, the relative humidity should be 80% or less.
  • Page 8 The storage temperature range is from -5°C to +60°C. When not in use for a long time, in-  sert the electrode protection sheet between the electrodes, cover the 12704A with a plastic sheet or put in a cardboard box, and store it in a low humidity area away from direct sun- light.

    12704A Resistivity Chamber Operation Manual 3.3.2 General Instructions 3.3.2 General Instructions (1) Always set the electrode protection sheet except during measurement. (2) Be sure to open or close the cover with the opposed electrode mounted. Closing the cover without the opposed electrode will cause damage to the main electrode by the hold bracket of the opposed electrode.
