Page 8: Chapter 1 - General Information
Certificate of Calibration that accompanies the unit. In addition, to prove that this level of safety is intact, the 4314KVM is equipped with a constant test current monitoring display and a unique Fail-Safe test button that simulates a worst-case component failure and displays the measured fail-safe current, all while the output is isolated from the current source. -
Page 9: Instrument Identification
Instrument Identification Valhalla Scientific instruments are identified by a two-part serial number. The Serial Tag is located on the rear or bottom of the instrument. The number is in the form of 68-0000 (KVS). The first two digits, called the serial number prefix, indicate the model. It changes only when a change is made to the instrument. -
Page 10: Chapter 2 - Unpacking And Installing
Although the batteries are fully charged prior to shipment, it may be desirable to refresh the charge for 24 hours before use. As a rule of thumb, the 4314KVM requires twice as much time to fully recharge as the amount of discharge time. For example, if the instrument was used continuously for 2 hours, the AC adapter must be connected for 4 hours to fully restore the charge. -

Page 15: Chapter 5 - Features And Operations
Measurement connections and charging are made via the front panel 6 pin connector. Source and Sense Connections The 4314KVM will include a set of 4 wire alligator clips (AF-K) that will mate with the front panel connector via Mil-Spec MS3116F10-6P. Four of the terminal pins on the front panel receptacle are used as Sense and Source pins providing full 4-Wire Kelvin measurement capability. -
Page 16: 4-Wire Resistance Measurement
4-Wire Resistance Measurement The four-terminal configuration of the 4314KVM eliminates errors normally caused by test lead and contact resistances. In many applications the contact resistance can exceed the value of the load by several orders of magnitude. The 4314KVM bypasses this potential error source by providing two terminals of constant current and an additional two terminals for high impedance voltage measurement. - Page 17 For hard-to-reach surfaces, Valhalla Scientific offers two sets of spring-loaded dual needle probes differentiated by overall size and distance between the needles. If this is your choice of...

Charger Connections The 4314KVM will include a battery charger that will mate with the front panel connector via Mil-Spec MS3116F10-6P. Two of the terminal pins on the front panel receptacle are used as charger inputs. PIN-C Battery Charger Negative PIN-F Battery Charger Positive The charging requirements of the internal battery pack are 7.5VDC @ 366mA. -
Page 19: Displays
If the display appears to be erroneous when connected to a load, recheck the test leads for integrity and cleanliness. If all external items appear to be functioning properly, the problem may be the ohmmeter. In this case, please contact your local Valhalla Scientific Sales Office. Current Display and Multiplier LEDs Under normal operations, the Current display will indicate the value of the source current being used by the tester. -
Page 20: Fail-Safe Operation
Certificate of Calibration included with every unit. Fail-Safe Test The 4314KVM is equipped with a Fail-Safe test feature that allows for real time verification of the fail-safe current. When the Fail-Safe test button is pressed, the unit disconnects the source terminals from the internal circuitry, simulates a worst-case scenario failure, and measures the source current. -
Page 21: Low Battery Indicator
Low Battery Indicator A standard feature of 4314KVM is a circuit that monitors the output voltage of the internal battery supply. The Battery Status LED for this feature is located to the far left of the display window. • Non lit LED indicates that the batteries are charged, and the device can be used. -
