ZERO-BALANCING THE BRIDGE.
The zero-balance procedure is a basic
operation that is performed during each measurement and test procedure in this
chapter.
Therefore, familiarization with zero-balancing is recommended before
proceeding with the measurements or tests.
During operation, any of the following
conditions will require zero-balancing the bridge:
a.
The setting of the MULTIPLY C switch is changed.
b.
The setting of the DIVIDE G/MULTIPLY R switch is changed.
c.
The setting of the C/L switch is changed.
d.
The position of the GAIN control is changed.
e.
The position of the TEST LEVEL control is changed.
f.
Test leads, cables, or a test jig are connected to the Model 75D.
g. When either the terminal shield or the ground plane adapter
installed on the TEST binding
posts is removed.
Before starting the zero-balancing process which follows, check that no test specimen
is connected to the Model 75D and note the following definitions of a null indication
and a complete null.' A null indication is defined as minimum meter reading.
For a
complete null, the meter pointer must be within one subdivision of zero when the
MULTIPLY C switch is at any position except 1 . When the MULTIPLY C switch is at 1,
the meter pointer must be within three subdivisions of zero for a complete null.
Proceed with the following steps to zero balance the bridge.
