Chapter 8 Maintenance and Service 8.1 Repair, Inspection, Cleaning Customers are not allowed to modify, disassemble, or repair the instrument. Doing so may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. When the instrument is being repaired, batteries and parts should be removed to prevent damage during transportation.
Chapter 9 Appendix 9.1 Effect of extended test line and induced voltage Test lines can usually be extended by customization. If you want to extend the test line, please contact the dealer or Multicomp-Pro. The user can not extend the test line privately. Reduce induction voltage Because the instrument under AC power to test resistance with very small resistance, the inductive voltage will affect the test.
9.3 AC 4-terminal Measurement Method The instrument uses AC four-terminal measurement method, so when measuring resistance, it is not necessary to consider the internal resistance of the test line and the contact resistance between the test line and the object under test. The AC current (Is) flowing from the SOURCE port of the instrument flows through the tested battery.
