Introduction Normal Use The resistance decade 1427 is a precise programmable resistance decade for a range from 1.000 00 Ω to 1 200 000 Ω. It is designed for checking parameters of resistance meters, regulators and process meters, which use external resistance sensors for the measurement of non-electric magnitudes.
Test report • Module 19” (extra ordered option) The 1427 may be ordered as 19” module for an easy assembling into a 19” rack. Module height is 3HE. Order Code: 2316-Z001 Figure 1: Assembly frame for an easy assembly of 1427-Vxxx into a 19’’ rack.
Construction 2.3.1 Electric function The resistance elements are switched to the output terminals with reed relays in a binary code system. The resistors are made of foil or metal with a low temperature coefficient. The relays used are types with a low thermoelectric voltage.
Terminals and Controls Terminals Figure 2: Rear panel of 1427 Resistance output is available either on R4W or on R2W output terminals. 2 and 4 wire connection and, if the decade is used as Pt/Ni temperature sensor simulator, 2, 3 and 4 wire connection is available at the upper four Terminals, R4W.
Keyboard Figure 3: The Keyboard and the display are located at the front panel Numerical values may be entered from the numerical part of keyboard. The keys 2, 4, 6 and 8 also have a meaning as display cursor keys. The following keys are located at the keyboard, except from the numerical keys: Meaning MENU...
Display Figure 4: The two row display of 1427 The two-row alphanumerical display is located at the front panel of the decade. It is used to display all information. Main values, e.g. simulated temperatures or output resistances, are displayed in the upper row.
The voltage supply has to be in the range from 100 V to 240 V, the frequency in range from 47 to 63 Hz. The 1427 decade is a laboratory device. Its accuracy is valid at a temperature of 23 °C ± 5 °C.
Operation Standard mode After switching on the decade operates in the standard mode. The following information is shown at the display: The upper row shows the simulated temperature in “°C” or the generated resistance in “Ω”. The lower row shows the type of the simulated temperature sensor (Pt100) and the setup temperature scale IPTS68 or ITS90 according to the IEC751 standard or US according to the US/JIS standard.
5.1.2 Numerical keyboard With the numerical keys temperature or resistance values may be entered directly. A recently entered value is displayed in brackets under the active value. To confirm the new value: Push the ENT key. Pushing the ENT key switches the keys 2, 4, 6 and 8 to cursor mode. To delete the last entered number: Push the BSP key.
5.2.1 Function Push the MENU key at standard mode. Call up the “Function” parameter with cursor key ▲ or ▼. Set the decade to the desired mode. To do this, use the cursor keys ◄ and ►. The available modes are shown at the following.
R(T) = 330*exp (-4050*((1/298.15)-(1/(T+273.15)))) is preset. The range of simulation is –30 °C to 110 °C. Short (Version 1427-Vx1x) Simulates “Short” at the output terminals. The function “Short” is an extra ordered option. Open (Version 1427-Vx1x) Simulates “Open” on the output terminals. The function “Open” is an extra ordered option.
5.2.3 4W<2W (the highest resistance value on R4W terminals Use this function to define the resistance value, for the switch over of the active output terminals from R4W to R2W and back automatically. Resistance values higher than 10 000 Ω are only available on terminals R2W. Lower values than 10 000 Ω...
5.2.5 Click Volume (Volume) Press the “MENU” key at standard mode. Select the Parameter “Volume” with the cursor keys ▲ and ▼. Select the desired volume with the keys ◄ and ►. You may set the volume incremental. There are 15 increments of volume. “00” means no click when a key is pressed and “15”...
To set the address off an IEEE488 decade (IEC addr): If the decade is equipped with an optional IEEE488 Interface, you may set the IEEE488 address of instruments instead of the “Baud rate”. The address range is “0” to “30”. 5.2.7 Lightning Using this parameter you may enable or disable the display lightning.
5.2.8 Calibration mode password setting (Cal. code) To access the calibration mode you have to enter a five digit password. If the password is set to “00000”, this information is displayed in the setup menu. Otherwise the decade displays “*****”. Note: Write down the active password.
5.2.9 Serial number (Serial n.) Displays the serial number of the decade. To display the serial number: Press the “MENU” key at standard mode. Select the Parameter “Serial n.” with the cursor keys ▲ and ▼. The display now shows the serial number. Note: This parameter cannot be changed.
Calibration mode In this mode you may recalibrate the resistance elements of the decade. To get access to the calibration mode: Press twice the “MENU” key at standard mode. At SETUP mode you have to press this key only at one time. Before calibration you have to enter the correct password.

5.3.2 Calibrating Set the first calibration point (resistance element). Use the keys ▲ and ▼ to set the element. Measure the resistance of the selected element. Use a ohm-meter with appropriate accuracy in 4 and 2-wire wire connection. Switch the keypad to numerical mode.
Performance verification test The verification procedure is based on the measuring of the resistance at the decade output terminals with a standard multimeter in recommended points. Required equippment You need an ohmmeter with a nominal accuracy of 0.001 % in range 1 Ω to 1.2 MΩ (e.g. Wavetek 1281, FLUKE 8508 or similar).

For data flow control neither hardware handshake (RTS/CTS) nor program handshake (XON/XOFF) is used. The RS232 line is metallically separated to other electronic circuits. RS232 connection Figure 5: 9 pin connector D-SUB FEMALE (view to the 1427’s rear panel) Label Description output...
Go To Local - disables the remote control “LLO” Local Lock Out - disables the local control, the 1427 can only be controlled by remote control. Other commands are identical to the RS232 interface commands. You’ll find a detailed description at chapter 7.3 “Commands”...
A command is always a letter followed by a parameter and ended by control sign <cr> or <lf>. The response is always ended with the control signs “<cr><lf>”. If an unknown command is received the 1427 returns the string "? <cr><lf>“. A correct executed command is confirmed by the string "Ok <cr><lf>.
In case of a command, the decade confirms the correct setting with the string „Ok <cr><lf>”. In case of a query, the 1427 returns the set resistance/temperature value in the same format as it is set for the display (number of decimal places).

7.4.6 Status reading 1427 returns the device status in the form „FxUx <cr><lf>“. The values corresponding to the actual status of decade are located at the positions of the „x“ signs (refer to chapter 7.4.2: “Decade function setting” and chapter 7.4.5: “Temperature unit setting (T.unit)”.
Demo program To provide an easy operation of the instrument from the computer, and to check the RS232 line (IEEE488 bus) of the instrument, a simple operating program is delivered with the decade. The installation disk contains a program (for WIN95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/WIN7/WIN8 only), that allows your computer to communicate with the instrument through a standard serial line (IEEE488).
Program description When launching the program “R decade”, the following control panel is displayed on your screen. Figure 7: R Decade First select the appropriate interface (RS232 or IEEE488). To select the interface use the operating element „Communication“. Standard is RS232. To control the decade with the RS232 Interface.
