Page 2 General Specifications Characteristics Description Display LCD 3 ½ with 2000 counts, maximum display count of 1999 Over-range Indication “1” in the Most Significant Digit (MSD) Operation Frequency of Ω current 820Hz to 1.6kHz at approx. 2mA. Earth Resistance Range 20Ω/200Ω/2000Ω...
Precision AC voltage source with a range of 0 to 200V AC @60Hz with an accuracy of .25% or better. • To test the performance of the 61-796, you will need a set of fixed standard resistors with an accuracy of 0.5% or better. Values required are 1Ω, 10Ω, 100Ω, and 1000Ω.
Set the precision AC power source to standby with an output of 100V @ 60 Hz. • Connect terminals E and P of the 61-796 to the output of the AC source. (C should be left open.) • Energize the AC source.
Page 5 Ω Adjustment (refer to Figure 2) Connect the 61-796 to the standard resistors as described in the performance test section, Figure 1. Select 20Ω Range. • Short E, P, and C together, adjust 0Ω adj dial for 0.00 ±0.01 ohms on the LCD display.
