Condensed Operating Instructions
Zeroing
Before measuring, zero out test lead or fixture measurement errors as follows.
1. If test leads are to be used connect them to the 1865 input terminals, red to +
unknown, black to - unknown, with probes open and spaced some distance apart (or
fixture open).
2. Press [MENU] key to select menu display.
3. Press Right or Left Arrow key to select Utilities menu.
4. Press Up or Down Arrow key to select Zero in the sub menu.
5. Press [ENTER] key to activate the Zero routine and follow instructions on the
instrument display.
Auto Measurement Mode
In automatic mode, once the [START] button is depressed the instrument sequences
automatically through the test cycle phases, charge, dwell, measure and discharge and a
pre-stored set of test conditions are executed. These test conditions can be DEFAULT
(those at power up), set using menus or the operator can recall a previously stored setup.
1. Connect the device under test to the 1865 test leads or other fixture being used.
2. If the desired setup conditions are anything other than DEFAULT, set using menus
or proceed to Recalling Setups below before continuing with step 3.
3. Initiate the auto measurement mode by pressing [START]. The High Voltage
Indicator will remain on as the unit sequences automatically through all four phases
(charge, dwell, measure, discharge) of the test cycle.
4. The measurement can be aborted at any time during the test cycle by pressing
[STOP].
5. Once the High Voltage Indicator goes off the measurement is complete, the final
result remains displayed and the device can be removed.
