Repackaging for Shipment IET instruments receive a careful mechanical and If the instrument is to be returned to IET Labs, contact electrical inspection before shipment. Upon receipt, the Service Department at the number or address, verify that the contents are intact and as ordered.
CRNT HI, CRNT LO, SENSE HI, and SENSE The highest quality low emf components are used in LO provide two current and two potential terminals, the HARS-LX Series. In particular, the terminals are respectively, for 4-terminal measurement. 2-terminal made of gold plated tellurium copper, which exhibits measurements may be made by shorting CRNT HI to low emf and low resistance.
HARS-LX Series Dial Setting power Considerations The resistance setting may be read directly from the To maintain the maximum possible accuracy and pre- dial settings whenever the dials are in positions 0-9. cision, power applied to the HARS-LX should be kept as low as possible, preferably below 0.1 W.
HARS-LX Series Meter Shunt Applications For maximum protection and accuracy, limit power input to HARS-LX to 1Watt. This may be accom- plished by placing a resistor in series with the bridge To measure the current in a 4-terminal resistor: generator or battery.
If it is maintained in a clean or air- 5.3.1 Calibration interval conditioned environment, cleaning will seldom be required. The recommended HARS-LX Series calibration interval is twelve (12) months. Should cleaning be needed: If the instrument is used to transfer resistance values only, recalibration is not required, assuming that there ...
